Geometry of quotient varieties and the algebra of conformal blocks (Han-Bom Moon Fordham University)

An important question in classical representation theory is when the tensor product of two irreducible representations has another representation as a factor. In this talk, I will introduce a quantum generalization of this question and explain how we may relate this question to geometry of quotients of certain complex manifolds. This is joint work with Sang-Bum Yoo.
