SMRI Seminar: Libedinsky -- (Categorified) Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for affine A2

Title:(Categorified) Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for affine A2 

Speaker: Nicolas Libedinsky (University of Chile) 

Date and Time: 11:05-11:55am, Friday 7th February 

Location: Quad S227 

Abstract: I will first explain the Hecke algebra (with its Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials)
and its categorical counterpart: the Hecke category.  Then I will explain some recent
results, in joint work with Leonardo Patimo.  We calculate for affine A2 the
Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, which is surprisingly beautiful.  We also categorify this
result in the Hecke category.  

The seminar will be followed by lunch with the speaker.  If you would like to join the
lunch, please email anthony.henderson@sydney.edu.au before the day of the seminar.
