How to create chaos

In this video I tell about the beautiful Barratt-Priddy-Quillen theorem, which shows how to get homotopy groups of spheres by applying the magic of group completion!

Pretty nice video! I was not aware that the BPQ theorem could take such a friendly form 😃

Welcome to Oxford! Hope to see the new episodes from the evergreen English lawn!

Nice video. I was expecting some nonlinear dynamics. The patterns in the homotopic groups of spheres is interesting. Good presentation.

hey can you make one explaining the definition of higher K groups in terms of classifying space

I didn't see the link in the description to the talk that you mentioned at the end
