Inhaltsangabe

These proceedings of the July 2005 conference and workshop include a significant number of papers commemorating the work of Ross Street. Topics include, rightly, the beginnings of category theory in Australia and higher gauge theory, the resolution of colored operads and rectification of homotropy algebras, simplical monoids and Segal categories, split extension classifiers and centrality, Moore normalization and Dold-Kan theorems for semi-abelian categories, branched coverings, degenerate categories and bi-categories, abstract cellularization, centers of monoidal categories of functions, ribbon categories, topological and conformal field theory as Frobenius algebras, characterization of torsion theories in general categories, weak units and homotopy three-types, quasi-categories and Segal spaces, parking functions, the K-theory, quantum field theories, three dimensional monad theory, orientals and nerves of complicated Gray-categories. Australia should be proud. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
