"Quivers and Hopf algebras"

Dr. Hua-Lin Huang
ICTP

Abstract: The algebraic structure of Hopf algebras is a unification of  
the
two classical algebraic structures, namely groups and Lie algebras. I
investigate Hopf algebras via combinatorics. I report some recent  
progress
on the classification and representation theory of finite dimensional
pointed (or, dually basic) Hopf algebras which are analogous to groups  
and
Lie algebras most.

Venue: Seminar Room, 1st floor, ICTP Main Building
