The Center of the Small Quantum Group and Affine Springer Fibers

Explore the intricate connections between the center of the small quantum group and affine Springer fibers in this advanced mathematics lecture presented by P. Boixeda Alvarez from Yale University. Delve into cutting-edge research in representation theory as part of the Quantum Topology Biennial (QTB) series. Over the course of 68 minutes, gain insights into the complex interplay between quantum groups and algebraic geometry, and discover how these concepts contribute to our understanding of quantum topology.
