Purity, Approximation Theory and Spectra

There will be a workshop and a conference on “Purity, Approximation Theory and Spectra” in Cetraro, Italy, on May 13-17, 2024. The conference is dedicated to Manolo Saorin on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

Purity and approximation theory influence a wide range of areas in mathematics including model theory of modules, silting and tilting theory, cotorsion pairs and abelian model structures and many more. Moreover, related classification problems in abelian and triangulated categories are strongly connected with spaces such as Ziegler spectra, Balmer spectra and prime spectra. This event aims to bring together researchers with an interest in these topics to share their different viewpoints and approaches.

This event is divided into a workshop and a conference. The workshop will include five mini lecture series (two hours each) covering a range of fundamental topics.

Lecture series speakers:
Sergio Estrada (University of Murcia)
Lorna Gregory (University of East Anglia)
Ivo Herzog (Ohio State University)
Henning Krause (University of Bielefeld)
Jan Šaroch (Charles University, Prague)

Conference speakers:
Natalia Castellana (Autonomous University of Barcelona)
Septimiu Crivei (Babes-Bolyai University)
Amnon Neeman (University of Milan)
Jan Stovicek (Charles University, Prague)
Simone Virili (Autonomous University of Barcelona)
Alexandra Zvonareva (The Czech Academy of Sciences)
