(Higher) representation theory

Description:  In this talk I want to present my point of view on what (higher) representation theory is and why it is useful. I would like to show, using a baby example, how classical representation theory transforms into higher representation theory, in particular, explaining what the latter one is. At the end, I plan to make a brief overview of some recent results and open problems in higher representation theory. Start Date:  2016-06-22 Start Time:   15:00 Speaker:  Volodymyr Mazorchuk (Univ.
