DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/OISTRTS/13/"
 >Affinization of monoidal categories</a>\nby Alistair Savage (University o
 f Ottawa) as part of OIST representation theory seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe 
 define the affinization of an arbitrary monoidal category\, corresponding 
 to the category of string diagrams on the cylinder.  We also give an alter
 native characterization in terms of adjoining dot generators to the catego
 ry.  The affinization formalizes and unifies many constructions appearing 
 in the literature.  We describe a large number of examples coming from Hec
 ke-type algebras\, braids\, tangles\, and knot invariants.\n
