Book Synopsis Lectures on Factorization Homology, ∞-Categories, and Topological Field Theories by : Hiro Lee Tanaka
Book excerpt: This book provides an informal and geodesic introduction to factorization homology, focusing on providing intuition through simple examples. Along the way, the reader is also introduced to modern ideas in homotopy theory and category theory, particularly as it relates to the use of infinity-categories. As with the original lectures, the text is meant to be a leisurely read suitable for advanced graduate students and interested researchers in topology and adjacent fields.
