Anna Romanov (UNSW) will be speaking in the algebra seminar.  We will go out for lunch
after the talk---all are welcome to join! 

When: 12-1pm Friday May 29 

Where: Carslaw 175 

Title: Lusztig-Vogan categories and a categorial approach to real reductive groups 

Abstract: Soergel bimodules were introduced to tackle hard questions about the
representation theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras.  Similar (but harder)
questions also exist about the representation theory of real reductive Lie groups.  Can
a Soergel-esque approach be taken in this world? I've been thinking about this
question for many years.  In this talk, I'll tell you about my perspective on this
question.  More specifically, I'll introduce a collection of module categories over
Soergel bimodules which encode information about the admissible representation theory of
a real reductive group, with a focus on examples.
