REPRESENTATION THEORY AND RELATED TOPICS SEMINAR
ABSTRACT: Interpretation
functors are a uniform additive version of the model
theoretic notion of interpretation for module categories.
Algebraically, they are simply additive functors I : Mod-R
→ Mod-S between module categories which commute with
direct limits and products. In this talk, I will introduce
interpretation functors and give an overview of results
about their (non-)existence and their usefulness, with a
particular focus on finite-dimensional algebras.
Any necessary notions coming from model theory will be
introduced during the talk.
