The representation dimension is a homological invariant which
Auslander introduced in 1971. For many years, only some basic properties
were known. For instance, Auslander proved that representation dimension
less or equal 2 characterizes finite representation type. My talk provides
a survey of some recent work which sheds some new light on this dimension.
In particular, its geometric nature will be discussed.
