# Lectures on Factorization Homology, Infinity-Categories, and Topological Field Theories

## TL;DR

This paper provides an accessible introduction to advanced topics in mathematics, including factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories, aimed at graduate students new to homotopy theory.

## Contribution

It offers an informal, educational overview connecting these complex areas for learners without prior specialization in homotopy theory.

## Key findings

- Clarifies the relationship between factorization homology and topological field theories.
- Introduces key concepts in infinity-categories in an accessible manner.
- Serves as a foundational resource for graduate students entering the field.

## Abstract

These are notes from an informal mini-course on factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories. The target audience was imagined to be graduate students who are not homotopy theorists.
