Title: Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras and 2-representation theory
Abstract:
We will explain the main philosophy of higher representation theory: categorification. We will discuss how the cyclotomic KLR algebras provide a categorification of highest weight modules of the quantum symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras.
