Elliptic representation theory and higher loop Grassmannians

Abstract

This project aims to study symmetries which control geometry and physics of four-dimensional manifolds. Representation theory is the area in pure mathematics which studies symmetries coming from geometry, algebra, and physics. The expected outcome is new families of quantum algebra, their character formulas, and a solution to an infinite-dimensional moduli problem. This project will further deepen the mathematical knowledge of symmetries, and show unexpected new connections between different areas of pure mathematics and mathematical physics.
