About:

Classifying spaces are fundamental in algebraic topology. Given a group (finite or Lie groups, groups of automorphisms or diffeomorphisms, etc), its classifying space controls the theory in question. The topology of the classifying space tends to be incredibly rich and its structure reveals a great deal about the underlying objects.

This workshop will bring together leading experts from multiple different areas where research is driven by the need to understand classifying spaces. The purpose is to share ideas and techniques that will generate new research. The involvement of early career researchers has been embedded into the programme and further participation is encouraged. The workshop will also celebrate the contributions made by Ran Levi.
