The Atlantic Category Theory Group is an interdisciplinary
research group composed of faculty, postdocs, and graduate students at
Dalhousie University, Saint Mary's University, and Mount Allison
University.
 Research Interests
Our research interests focus on pure and applied category theory,
including double categories, bicategories, enriched categories, higher
dimensional category theory, adjunctions, categorical lattice theory,
complete distributivity, Hopf algebras, homological algebra, operator
theory, categorical logic, the mathematical foundations of computer
science, the semantics of programming languages, models of quantum
computing, computational category theory, constructive mathematics,
topos theory, and the categorical theory of database systems. To find
out about the interests of individual faculty members, you can follow
the links to their home pages.
Applications
We welcome applications from prospective graduate students
and/or postdoctoral researchers. Please contact the individual faculty
members for more information.
Seminar
The group meets weekly in the
Atlantic
