Gelfand-Tsetlin theory and Coulomb branches Monday, April 1, 2019:

luminy_2019_to_accompany_talk.pdf

Along with this talk there are two sets of slides: one intended for actually presenting during the talk, and one with more complete sentences that’s better for reading on its own. I’ve also attached a draft of (one of) the papers the talk is based on. Video of talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W3v3uKHrtE&t=1062s Read more about Gelfand-Tsetlin theory and Coulomb branches

Prove It! Developing Systematic Search Methods for Evidence-Based Librarianship, at OLA SuperConference, Toronto, ON, Thursday, January 31, 2019

Presenters: Caitlin Carter, Jackie Stapleton, Laura Bredahl

Systematic and scoping reviews are well known methodologies within the health literature however these study designs are becoming more prominent in social science disciplines, including LIS research. Learn how a University of Waterloo research team developed systematic search methods to conduct a scoping review to investigate themes and trends in research consultations in academic libraries. Gain tips and techniques for creating systematic search methods including i) selecting databases, ii)...

The Librarians’ Association of the University of Waterloo: A Unique Approach to Supporting Librarianship, at OLA Superconference, Toronto, Ontario, Thursday, January 31, 2019:

LAUW_Poster_2019_-_final_print2.pptx

The Librarians’ Association of the University of Waterloo supports the welfare, professionalism, and role of librarians at a research-intensive institution. Working within a rare environment in the Canadian academic landscape where librarians do not have academic status and are not unionized, this association manages unique opportunities and challenges.

Heisenberg v. Kac-Moody, at VUB, Brussels, Thursday, January 24, 2019

I’ll discuss recent work on the structure of Heisenberg categories and their generalizations, especially the higher-level Heisenberg categorifications defined by Brundan. This includes the long sought-after identification of their Grothendieck groups with Heisenberg algebras, and a construction of categorical Kac-Moody actions from Heisenberg actions which unifies essentially all examples of categorical Kac-Moody actions of interest to representation theorists. This is joint work with Jonathan Brundan and Alistair Savage. Read more about Heisenberg v. Kac-Moody

Coherent sheaves on Hilbert schemes through the Coulomb lens, at University of Virginia, Friday, October 19, 2018:

UVA-2018.pdf

The Hilbert scheme of the plane (or more generally, the resolution of the type A Kleinian singularity) has a surprising description as a Coulombbranch in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima; this gives a rather odd looking presentation of the projective coordinate ring of this variety. It turns out that this presentation is very well adapted to describing the tilting generators constructed using Bezrukavnikov and Kaledin's perspective; of course, there are many other interesting aspects of the combinatorics of coherent sheaves on these varieties, which hopefully the...
