Workshop on Synthetic Algebraic Geometry

University of Augsburg
October 2-6, 2023

Other SAG meetings

Topic

Synthetic algebraic geometry (SAG), is the study of algebraic geometry by synthetic means - instead of building up everything from ZF(C), we reason internal to a topos whose internal sets already contain the objects of interest. Our topos is called the (higher) Zariski topos and is given by Zariski-sheaves on affine schemes of finite type over an arbitrary base ring. Higher sheaves are neccessary to interpret the homotopy type theory we use to have, in addition to the usual convenience, an easy access to cohomology groups.
We have also begun to explore 𝔸¹-homotopy theory and algebraic stacks. The foundation is described here and more drafts can be found here.

Schedule

All talks are in Building L (map below), room 2004. Coffee breaks will be in 2006.

Organizers

Local transportation and points of interest

First of all: Google maps does not work for public transport in Augsburg.
You can use this page, to figure out how to use public transport.

You can take tram 3 to get from the train station to campus.
The workshop is in the building L (L1 on the map):

The workshop dinner will be at the Indian restaurant Sangam:
