Blogging seminars - a new fad!
- July 6th, 2007
They simply do not end. Now, Cornell grads and pre-grads have started the Everything Seminar - which has absolutely brilliant discussions about the forbidden minor theorem in graph theory as well as a fascinating overview over constructing homological algebra as embedded in the theory of modules over
![\mathbb C[\epsilon]=\mathbb C[x]/(x^2)](/latexrender/pictures/db20ecd267c084ac611f9066f99436f0.png "\mathbb C[\epsilon]=\mathbb C[x]/(x^2)")
. Connected to this comes the observation that by constructing calculus using the tricks used in synthetic differential geometry, we end up with - again - modules over
![\mathbb C[\epsilon]](/latexrender/pictures/a94d9d20f94dd70edae002338a44d68d.png "\mathbb C[\epsilon]")
, and some very fascinating discussions are sparked as to subtle and interesting connections between these two viewpoints!How on earth I am going to keep up with the interesting sprouting discussion group blogs I shall never know. Maybe it’s getting to the point where we’ll start an

Michi is a recent PhD working in homological algebra. This blog is his outlet for texts with some manner of thought put into them. Over at his LiveJournal intimate details and streams of consciousness might be found.
Not all here is mathematics. All here, though, are my personal thoughts and opinions. Please read the about page (linked above) for more details.

I heartily support the idea of an [tex]A_\infty[/tex] blog. One direction I still haven’t written about for my [tex]\mathbb{C}[\epsilon][/tex] posts was about enriching categories over [tex]\mathbb{C}[\epsilon]-\mathbf{mod}[/tex], which with the superalgebra structure can be turned into the notion of a dg-category.
Please, please, please do an A_\infty blog.
Palen: It doesn’t seem impossible to get something like that up and running. I’m hearing good noises in the nearest community, just haven’t gotten around to kickstart something quite yet.
Want your say?
