An introduction to diagram algebras

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the notion of a diagram algebra and explain their connection to the representation theory of compact quantum groups. I will also describe the role that they play for loop models in statistical physics as well as the correspondence between their traces and random walks on graphs.

Quantum Groups Seminar [QGS]

Series comments: This seminar aims to bring together experts in the area of quantum groups. The seminar topics will cover the theory of quantum groups and related structures in a large sense: Hopf algebras, operator algebras, q-deformations, higher categories and related branches of noncommutative mathematics.

The zoom link will be distributed by mail, so please join the mailing list if you are interested in attending the seminar.
