We'll begin this talk by overviewing the ba sics of quiver representations\, including Gabriel's Theorem\, leading tow ards a theorem of Kac which counts quiver representations in terms of Kac polynomials. A remarkable theorem of Hua provides an explicit generating f unction for these Kac polynomials. We'll discuss how Hua's result can be i nterpreted in terms of certain interesting algebraic varieties called zast ava spaces\, via recent developments in mathematical physics (the theory o f Coulomb branches). This talk is based on joint work with Dinakar Muthiah .\n\nVenue\n\nUQAM\, 201\, avenue du Président-Kennedy\, PK-4323\, Montréa l\n DTSTART:20230224T160000Z DTEND:20230224T170000Z SUMMARY:Alex Weekes (University of Saskatchewan) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/alex-weekes-university-sa skatchewan-346319 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
