Categories in Algebra, Geometry & Mathematical Physics - AMS

This collection presents cutting-edge research applying category theory to algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics, compiled for a conference honouring Ross Street's 60th birthday at the Australian National University in Canberra. Category theory has emerged as the universal language of modern mathematics, and this volume demonstrates its power across diverse mathematical disciplines. Readers will discover articles exploring higher categories and their applications, homotopy theoretic methods, and the dynamic new interactions between category theory and traditional mathematical fields. The book serves both as a reference for established researchers and an entry point for mathematicians seeking to understand how categorical approaches are reshaping contemporary mathematics. Published by the American Mathematical Society, it reflects the current state of research in these interconnected areas and offers insights into future directions for category-theoretic research.
