The second mutation was provoked by the introduction of the notion of model to pos by Charles Rezk in the late 90\; it was extensively developed by Jacob Lurie in his book 'Higher topos theory'\; it is connecting topos theory w ith homotopy theory and higher category theory. A third mutation is presen tly emerging under the impulse of homotopy type theory\, the new field of mathematics initiated by the homotopy interpretation of Martin-Lof type th eory by Awodey\, Warren and Voevodski. There is a profound unity between t hese developements. We believe that topos theory is best understood from a dual algebraic point of view. We propose calling the dual notion an 'aren a' (tentative name). The theory of arenas has many things in common with t he theory of commutative rings.\n\n DTSTART:20180227T193000Z DTEND:20180227T203000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:André Joyal (UQAM) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/andre-joyal-uqam-285301 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
