Algebra Seminar

Quantum group actions on noncommutative algebras and equivariant K-theory

Ruibin Zhang

Friday May 8, 12:05--12:55pm, Carslaw 375

Abstract

We study module algebras over quantum groups and their categories of equivariant modules. An equivariant algebraic K-theory of quantum group actions is introduced, and properties of this K-theory are developed. The equivariant K-groups for quantum homogeneous spaces and quantum symmetric algebras are computed. This is joint work with Gus Lehrer and Ngau Lam.

After the seminar we will be taking the speaker to lunch.
