Talbot 2013: Chromatic Homotopy Theory

Mentored by Mark Behrens and Tyler Lawson

April 21-27, 2013
South Lake Tahoe, California

Here is a PDF of the syllabus for the 2013 Talbot workshop. (Posted February 8th, 2013.) This includes detailed talk descriptions, references, and a discussion of prerequisites.

Thanks to Paul and Kirsten, notes are now available for every talk, sometimes in a selection of flavors.

Talk videos (poor quality, unfortunately) for the Boston-area pre-Talbot seminar, which focuses on prerequisities, are available here.

Northwestern University has also been conducting a seminar in preparation for the Talbot Workshop. You can find notes from the Northwestern pre-Talbot seminar here.
