University of Sydney Algebra Seminar

Daniel Tubbenhauer (University of Sydney)

Friday 18 March, 12-1pm, Place: Carslaw 275

Monoidal categories, representation gap and cryptography

If you do not know what the notions in the title have in common, then this is your talk: a friendly overview explaining how cryptography suggests interesting (and somewhat unconventional) questions in representation theory. The talk is based on a joint project with M. Khovanov and M. Sitaraman; a project that is pretty much in progress. Any kind of feedback, ideas, suggestions, whatever, are very welcome.
