Description: This will be an introductory course to the geometric representation theory. We will mainly focus on the book of Chriss and Ginzburg.Prerequisite:Some knowledge of Lie algebra, Lie group and algebraic geometryReference:N. Chriss and V. Ginzburg, Representation theory and complex geometryV. Ginzburg, Geometric methods in the representation theory of Hecke algebras and quantum group
AbstractThe notion of representations of Lie algebras on categories ("2-representations") has proven useful in representation theory. I will discuss joint work with Andrew Manion for the case of the super Lie algebra gl(1|1). A motivation is the reconstruction of Heegaard-Floer theory, a 4-dimensional topological field theory, and its extension down to dimension 1.About the speakerRaphaël Alexi...
