Symmetric bimodules and Hopf algebras

Abstract: I will explain the basics of finitary 2-representation theory and explain a reduction theorem that motivates the study of certain types of 2-categories. I will then explain two examples of such, associated to Hopf algebras and symmetric bimodules, and explain the connection between the two.
