A Century of Frobenius Algebras — a lecture series by Chelsea Walton

August 17–21, 2026, 16:00–17:00 Sofia time, ICMS-Sofia hosts a Distinguished Lecture Series in Representation Theory and Mathematical Physics by Chelsea Walton (Rice University, Houston, USA) on A Century of Frobenius Algebras, based on the speaker’s book in preparation, Symmetries of Algebras, Volume 2.

The five lectures cover: (1) classical Frobenius algebras; (2) monoidal category preliminaries; (3) algebraic structures in monoidal categories; (4) connections to 2-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theories; (5) representations and functorial constructions.

The lectures take place in Room 403, ICMS-Sofia.
