Factorization homology
I gave a talk at CUNY about factorization homology, and have written up some notes which I’m posting here.

The categorical Pontryagin-Thom construction
Comments first published
The Pontryagin-Thom construction is a deep relation between smooth manifold theory and homotopy theory. We use the language of manifold diagrams and computads to give a purely combinatorial perspective on the construction. On our way, we’ll discuss computadic functors and transformations, and how the combinatorics of manifold diagrams may provide a “combinatorialization” of smooth structures on manifolds altogether. → read note
From trusses to weak computads to combinatorial manifold diagrams
Comments first published
This note gives a fast introduction to the rich combinatorial theory of trusses. We also discuss how presheafs of truss blocks give rise to weak computads, and how this can be used to understand manifold diagrams in purely combinatorial terms. → read note
