Factorization Homology
De David Ayala
The talk will begin with a statement concerning factorization homology of n-categories with adjoints. We’ll compare this articulation of factorization homology to the perturbative version, concerning E_n-algebras. I’ll state a non-perturbative version of non-abelian Poincare’ duality concerning this articulation of factorization homology. We’ll relate this version of factorization homology to other known manifold invariants. Then we’ll see a description, and definition, of factorization homology.
