Affine/dessins d'enfants Kac-Moody Lie algebras, Belavin-Drinfeld Lie bialgebras and quantum groups (it is all just Galois cohomology)
Speaker:
Arturo Pianzola, University of Alberta
Date and Time:
Friday, May 13, 2016 - 2:50pm to 3:50pm
Abstract:
Most of this talk will be an aftermath to Neher's lectures. I will explain why/how the affine algebras, EALAs and, most recently, Belavin-Drinfeld Lie bialgebras and quantum groups are exercises in Galois cohomology.
