Workshop on Infinity Categories

The aim of this workshop is to acquire basic familiarity with infinity-categories, in particular with quasi-categories and marked simplicial sets as models for those. After a short introduction to the technical tools like Cartesian fibrations, straigthening-unstraightening and Barr-Beck-type theorems, we will in particular look at infinity-categorical notions of usual categorical and topological objects, such as adjunctions or spectra.
