Introduction to Chromatic Homotopy Theory - Lecture 4

Delve into the fourth lecture of the "Introduction to Chromatic Homotopy Theory" series, delivered by Constanze Roitzheim as part of the "Dualities in Topology and Algebra" program. Explore advanced concepts in algebraic topology, focusing on chromatic homotopy theory and its connections to commutative algebra and modular representation theory. Gain insights into duality phenomena and classification problems in tensor-triangulated categories. Examine the relationships between derived categories of commutative rings, stable categories of finite groups, and the stable homotopy category in topology. Discover how ideas from commutative algebra and algebraic geometry have been adapted to modular representation theory and stable homotopy theory, including Grothendieck duality theory and Gorenstein rings. Learn about the classification of thick and localising subcategories in triangulated categories and the computation of their Balmer spectra. Investigate cohomological support varieties and their applications in modular representation theory.
