“Representations of Hall algebras and some applications”

After reviewing the basic theory of Hall algebras, I will present a new construction of representations using duality functors. In the case of Hall algebras of quivers, I will show that this construction leads to representations of twisted quantum Kac-Moody algebras. Finally, I will discuss applications to enumerative problems related to moduli spaces of self-dual quiver representations.
