This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual AMS Special Session on Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of Quantum Groups and Related Topics, held from November 20–21, 2021. Noncommutative algebras and noncommutative algebraic geometry have been an active field of research for the past several decades, with many important applications in mathematical physics, representation theory, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, low-dimensional topology, and category theory. Papers in this volume contain original research, written by speakers and their collaborators. Many papers also discuss new concepts with detailed examples and current trends with novel and important results, all of which are invaluable contributions to the mathematics community.
Geometric and Topological Aspects of the Representation Theory of Finite Groups
These proceedings comprise two workshops celebrating the accomplishments of David J. Benson on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. The papers presented at the meetings were representative of the many mathematical subjects he has worked on, with an emphasis on group prepresentations and cohomology. The first workshop was titled "Groups, Representations, and Cohomology" and held from June 22 to June 27, 2015 at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The second was a combination of a summer school and workshop on the subject of "Geometric Methods in the Representation Theory of Finite Groups" and took place at the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver from July 27 to August 5, 2016. The contents of the volume include a composite of both summer school material and workshop-derived survey articles on geometric and topological aspects of the representation theory of finite groups. The mission of the annually sponsored Summer Schools is to train and draw new students, and help Ph.D students transition to independent research.

This volume is a proceedings of a workshop at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics from May 31– June 4, 2022. The workshop highlighted progress in the areas of vertex operator algebras, conformal field theory, categorification, low dimensional topology and representation theory of affine Lie algebras, loop groups, and quantum groups. In the past 40 years, string theory gave rise to the mathematical theory of vertex operator algebras, which led to the construction of representations of affine Lie algebras and the Moonshine module of the Monster group. These mathematical constructions have in turn led to ideas about 3-dimensional quantum gravity. In another direction, the discovery of the Jones polynomial led to a physical construction of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), which in turn advanced many mathematical developments in quantum groups and low dimensional topology. Louis Crane and Igor Frenkel introduced the categorification program with the goal of upgrading 3-dimensional TQFTs coming from representation theory of quantum groups to 4-dimensional TQFTs. This idea gave rise to the development of link homologies constructed from representation-theoretic, algebraic-geometric, combinatorial, and physical structures. Articles in this volume present both classical and new results related to these topics. They will be interesting to researchers and graduate students working in mathematical aspects of modern quantum field theory.
