Groups, Groupoids, Stacks and Representation Theory
Joseph Bernstein, Tel Aviv University
Location: Hill 705
Date & time: Tuesday, 11 June 2024 at 11:00AM - 12:00PM
Let G be a group and k some field. A representation of the group G over the field k is usually defined as a vector space V over k equipped with a linear action of the group G. One of important problems in Representation Theory is the study of the category Rep(G) of such representations.
In my talk I will explain that there is another natural way to describe this category, namely, it can be described as a category of sheaves on some "geometric" object - the basic groupoid BG of the group G.
I will explain that this more sophisticated categorical description is the more "correct" one. For example, this new description gives a more adequate description of the category Rep(G) in cases when we have additional structures (algebraic groups, some extra symmetries and so on).
I will show that in many cases the category Rep(G) has a natural extension - the category M(G) - that has better behavior.
My talk will partially follow my paper in arXiv:1410.0435.
