This is a three-week school and workshop on homological methods in algebra and geometry. The first two weeks will be a school for students from East Africa and beyond with young academic staff members from the region also welcomed. International and African researchers will join for a workshop in the third week. The event is funded and supported by the East Africa Mathematics Universities Programme (EAUMP) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).
The school begins with two introductory courses on some basic techniques that are widely used in the area. These are then built upon in the second week with slightly more advanced topics. The goal here is to give the participants a glimpse into some ideas used in algebraic geometry and homological algebra with the hope of inspiring them to pursue further research in a related topic.
The last week will comprise of a focus-session on tensor categories and how they arise naturally in algebraic geometry with the aim of exploiting them using homological algebra.
