The winter seminar is divided in two types of meetings : a learning seminar and a research seminar. The objective of learning seminars is to learn about cluster algebras and monoidal categorifications in general while research seminars are oriented towards open problems. You can find each meeting's type in their header.
This winter seminar is coorganized with Théo Pinet.
Monoidal categorification of cluster algebras : what? where? why? how? Notes available here.

Based cluster algebras of infinite rank and their applications to Lie theory
We introduce based cluster algebras of infinite rank. By extending cluster algebras arising from double Bott-Samelson cells to the infinite rank setting, we recover certain infinite rank cluster algebras connected to monoidal categories of representations of (shifted) quantum affine algebras. This allows us to calculate standard bases on quantum double Bott-Samelson cells via braid group actions. Several conjectures also follow as consequences.
