Title: Moduli of vector bundles and quiver representations (MI talk)
Speaker: Pieter Belmans
Moduli spaces are a geometer's favourite book-keeping device to describe a classification, and they lead to rich geometric objects. We will be concerned with moduli spaces of vector bundles on curves, and quiver representations. These have a very different origin, and a priori look very different. But there exists an extensive dictionary between these types of objects, and the challenge becomes to find the right way to phrase and understand this dictionary. I will survey some aspects of this exciting dictionary.
