Title: (Higher) representation theory
Wednesday, 22 June, 2016
15:00
Abstract:
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.

On the occasion of the visit of the Advisory Committee in January 2017, CMUC will hold a Workshop to discuss the work of the research unit and its recent scientific achievements. Although the Workshop is meant as a unit meeting, external participants are welcome.
The UC|UP Joint PhD Program in Mathematics, run by the Universities of Coimbra and Porto, in Portugal, welcomes applications for the academic year 2016/2017.
All areas of Mathematics are covered in the Program.
The second call for applications is open until May 31, 2016.

It aims to bring together researchers working in Operator Theory, Complex Analysis, and their applications, and to create an opportunity to highlight the current state of the art in these fields, present open problems and engage in fruitful discussions. Connections with Linear Algebra will also be emphasized.
This meeting follows the line of four previous workshops, WOTCA 2010, WOTCA 2012, 2-Day OTCA 2013, WOTCA 2014.
The programme will consist of several invited 25+5 minute talks and a poster session.
