Relating Topology and Geometry - 2 Minute Math with Jacob Lurie

Many believe the mathematical fields of Algebraic Topology and Algebraic Geometry are totally unrelated, but Harvard Professor Jacob Lurie delights in finding the connections. Hear about his work at the leading edge of mathematics. Professor Jacob Lurie visited the Fields Institute for the Séminaire de mathématiques supérieures (SMS) 2018 from June 11 to June 15, 2018. The Fields Institute is a centre for mathematical research activity - a place where mathematicians from Canada and abroad, from academia, business, industry and financial institutions, can come together to carry out research and formulate problems of mutual interest. Our mission is to provide a supportive and stimulating environment for mathematics innovation and education.
