Seminar on tensor categories
The philosophy is: Categories generalize (categorify) sets; categories
with additional structure should categorify sets with additional structure. In particular,
the notion of a tensor category and their categorical representations can be seen as a categorification
of rings and algebras and their
representations, making the rich story of rings and algebras even more interesting. The purpose of this
seminar is to understand how this works precisely.
