Welcome

  • PSSL 101. The 101st Peripatetic Seminar on Sheaves and Logic (PSSL 101) will be held on the weekend of Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th 2017 at the School of Mathematics, University of Leeds. Following the tradition of the PSSL, this is intended to be an informal meeting, covering all areas of category theory and its applications. Talks by PhD students and young researchers are particularly encouraged. For a history of the PSSL, please see here.
  • Pre-PSSL lectures. There will be two lectures in the afternoon of Friday 15th September (14:30-15:30 and 16:00-17:00) to be given by Jiri Rosicky and Andrew Brooke-Taylor, on connections between locally presentable categories, set theory, and model theory.
