Representations of KLR algebras

Friday 2nd August, 12:05-12:55pm, Carslaw 373

Speaker:

Peter McNamara (University of Sydney)

Title:

Representations of KLR algebras

Abstract:

Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras are a family of associative algebras that categofiry quantum groups. I will explain what this statement means and discuss a classification of simple modules together with associated homological and combinatorial structures. No previous knowledge of KLR algebras is assumed.
