2022 Workshop on Polynomial Functors

At the Topos Institute and online via Zoom
2022 March 14–18 (UTC)

Participants will learn background material and hear the latest progress on polynomial functors. The main topic is the notion of polynomial functors in locally cartesian closed (LCC) categories, as employed in logic and type theory (the theme of last year's workshop). However we also include a tutorial and talks on the notion of polynomial functors in the sense of Eilenberg and Mac Lane, hoping to uncover connections between these two notions.

This is the second workshop in a series. The first Workshop on Polynomial Functors was held in March 2021.
