Every regular or abelian category has an associated re gular or abelian calculus\, a kind of graphical language with manipulation rules. This construction is 2-functorial and has a left adjoint given by a 'syntactic category' construction\; indeed the 2-category of regular cat egories is reflective in that of regular calculi\, and similarly for abeli an categories and abelian calculi. I will discuss these notions\, and give a flavor of the graphical languages involved.\n DTSTART:20190910T183000Z DTEND:20190910T193000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:David Spivak\, MIT URL:/mathstat/channels/event/david-spivak-mit-300480 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
