[Turkmath:3430] Atılım University, General Seminar announcement

[Burcu Gulmez Temur]

Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the general seminar organized by the
Department of Mathematics, Atılım University.

Our speaker is  *Can Ozan Oğuz*.

The title of his talk is *"**An introduction to categorification".*

Date: November 28, 2018

Time: 15:40

Place: FEF 404

Please find the abstract of the talk below.

*Abstract:* 'Categorification is a recent area of mathematics aiming to
enrich set-based theories with category-based ones. There are some famous
examples of categorification from last century, such as categorification of
the Euler characteristic by homology theories. The area has attracted a lot
of attention after the categorification of the famous knot invariant by
Khovanov in 1999. Since then, many interesting objects have been
categorified, including quantum groups and Hecke algebras. We will make a
gentle introduction to the ideas and techniques used in categorification.
Since sets are foundations of all of todays mathematics, the aim is to
encourage each participant to think of ways to categorify their favorite
object in mathematics.'

With my best regards,

On behalf of Seminar Committee,
Burcu Gülmez Temür
