The geometry of tensor triangulated categories of representations
Tuesday April 1, 2008
09:30AM - 10:30AM
Speakers:
Paul Balmer
Abstract:
We'll explain how to do geometry in
tensor triangulated categories, with emphasis on the derived and stable categories of kG-modules. We'll see how basic geometric ideas can be exported to this framework and then applied to modular representation theory. In particular, we'll discuss the construction of endotrivial modules by means of gluing techniques.
