$2$-Representation theory
The $2$-representation theory of $2$-categories is a categorical analogue of the representation theory of algebras. In my talk, I will recall its origins, its purposes, its basic features and explain some important examples. This talk is based on joint work with Mazorchuk, Miemietz, Tubbenhauer and Zhang.
Part of the Higher Structures and Applications mini-meeting, 5-6 Nov. 2019.
