Lie-theoretic constructions in the Moore-Tachikawa category

I will briefly review the Moore-Tachikawa conjecture, as well as the representation theory underlying its formulation. This will lead to an outline of recent, affirmative evidence for the conjecture. I will also detail a systematic association of topological quantum field theories to Lie-theoretic data. Distinguished roles will be played by the partial Grothendieck-Springer resolutions and their Poisson-geometric relatives. This represents joint work with Maxence Mayrand.
