Title: Center Conjecture of Cyclotomic KLR Algebras 

Abstract: Quiver Hecke algebras (KLR algebras), introduced by Khovanov, Lauda, and
Rouquier, play an important role in the categorification theory of integrable
representations of Kac-Moody algebras and quantum groups.  The centers of their
cyclotomic quotients carry interesting information about their representation theory and
are also related to the cohomology of the corresponding quiver varieties.  In this talk,
I will introduce some approaches to studying these centers.
