Rings up to homotopy - Abstract
The first part of this talk will introduce certain up to homotopy algebraic objects from stable homotopy theory. Examples come from homological algebra and from topological sources. The goal of this talk is to iscuss a new notion of topological equivalences of differential graded algebras which arises in stable homotopy theory.
