Introduction to cluster algebras

Time：Tues. & Thur., 9:50-11:25 am, Sept. 26-Nov. 16, 2023

Venue：Classroom C654, Tsinghua University Shuangqing Complex Building A (清华大学双清综合楼A座C654)

Speaker：Dylan Allegretti

Description:

A cluster algebra is a kind of commutative algebra with a distinguished set of generators organized into overlapping finite subsets called clusters. Though the definition of a cluster algebra seems strange at first encounter, these algebras appear naturally in many areas of mathematics. In the two decades since they were first discovered, cluster algebras have been used to study topics as seemingly different as Grassmannians, Teichmüller spaces, and the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. This course will give an introduction to cluster algebras, focusing on examples from several different areas of mathematics.

Prerequisite:

Basic algebra and topology

PrerequisiteLie algebras, representations.AbstractI will start from the reminder of the representation theory of simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras. Then I will define the current algebras and some the most important representations of them. I will explain how are these modules related to some families of orthogonal polynomials, describe the structure of these modules
