An algebraic topology perspective on factorization homology
I will give an introduction to factorization homology using configuration spaces, and discuss the nonabelian Poincaré duality theorem of Segal, Salvatore, Lurie, and Ayala–Francis, which relates factorization homology to mapping spaces. Time permitting, I will also talk about the Ayala–Francis axiomatic approach to factorization homology, which positions factorization homology as a "homology theory for manifolds."
