Conference on "Interactions between higher algebra, manifolds and functor calculus", May 18-22, 2026
Functor calculus serves as a systematic method for approximating functors by their “polynomial” counterparts. These approximations often allow for interesting new computations in homotopy theory and geometry. For example, in the setting of manifolds, the work of Goodwillie–Klein–Weiss enables one to extend classical computations of spaces of embeddings beyond traditional stable ranges.
