Abstract

This talk is a continuation of the previous lecture. We will go over the following topics: Operadic formulation of the definition (introduction to operads, cat-operad models of e_2 and e_3), examples (pointed categories, Eilenberg-MacLane cohomology), basic constructions (monoidal centre, commutative algebras, local modules) and completely anisotropic categories (symmetric, braided)
