Symmetric tensor categories
I will review some fundamentals from the theories of Hopf algebras, quantum groups
and tensor categories, and discuss the relationships among them, aiming towards an
account of what is currently known about the classification of symmetric
tensor categories and triangular Hopf algebras (both in zero and positive
characteristic).
