DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ENAAS/21/">M
 odular representation theory and finite W-algebras</a>\nby Lewis Topley (U
 niversity of Bath\, UK) as part of European Non-Associative Algebra Semina
 r\n\n\nAbstract\nFinite W-algebras were introduced by Premet in full gener
 ality\, and they quickly became quite famous for their many applications i
 n the representation theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras\, especiall
 y the classification of primitive ideals. However\, these algebras first a
 ppeared in the representation theory of Lie algebras associated to reducti
 ve groups in positive characteristic. In this talk I will survey the histo
 ry of finite W-algebras in modular representation theory\, and explain som
 e of the contributions I have made to the field. The main applications in 
 this talk will be the construction and classification of​``small'' modul
 es of Lie algebras.\n
