Abstract: In this talk, I will define the preprojective
algebra of a quiver and discuss its connections with the representations
of the quiver. I will explain how the preprojective algebra, while
interesting, does not have a property that we would like it to have;
however, there is a centrally extended preprojective algebra which
does have that property. I will then discuss the connections between
the centrally extended preprojective algebra and the representations
of the quiver.
The presentations cover a large variety of topics and are intended for a general math audience. The seminar is organized by Prof. Alfred Noël and we usually meet Monday afternoons, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm.
