Abstract:I will give a brief introduction to quantum groups and their representation theory with the emphasis on applications to integrable systems. If time permits, I will talk about positive representations and their Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and Racah-Wigner coefficients in the case of U_q(sl_2)
AbstractThe character plays an important role in the representation theory of finite groups. in this talk, lwill introduce the notion of 2-character of 2-representations of a finite 2-group G. The conjugationinvariance implies that the 2-characters can be viewed as objects in the Drinfeld center 31(Vecg).will also introduce a topological guantum field theory (TQFT) point of view on the 2-charac...
