Title: The Temperley-Lieb tangle category of type B and some infinite
dimensional representations of quantum sl2

Abstract: I shall present an equivalence of categories between the type 
B Temperley-Lieb category, realised as a subquotient of the classical 
category of unoriented tangles, and a category of projective infinite 
dimensional representations of quantum sl2. This is joint work with 
Ruibin Zhang and Kenji Iohara.
