Student Algebra Seminar: Ciappara -- Derived categories and functors

I will give the Seminar’s second talk for Semester 1 tomorrow afternoon on Zoom.  Please
find the details below.  Anyone who would like to attend the talk or join the mailing
list is warmly invited to e-mail ciappara@maths.usyd.edu.au.  

Title: Derived categories and functors 

Abstract: I will begin by recalling some of what was said about triangulated categories
last week, before introducing the main character of this week’s story: the derived
category of an abelian category.  To construct this category and understand its
morphisms explicitly, we will discuss localisations of categories in general.  The final
part of the talk will concern derived functors, their main properties, and some key
examples.  

Time and date: 2 pm, Wednesday 23 March
