"Putting the "Homotopy" in Homotopy Type Theory"

In this week's meeting of the Homotopy Type Theory Seminar, we begin by reviewing path induction. We then interpret Martin-Lof type theory in a homotopy-theoretic manner, viewing types as higher groupoids and functions as functors. We also discuss in detail how the notion of a homotopy between paths is related to identity types. Those who did not attend previous meetings are still encouraged to come!

"Disintegration phenomena for planar algebraic vector fields"

In my talk, I will discuss some disintegration phenomena in the specific case of complex polynomial vector fields on the affine plane \mathbb{A}^2_\mathbb{C}.
