time and venue: 11:00 - 12:30, Room 1423, KIAS, Seoul, Korea

title : Hopf algebras and polynomial superfunctors

abstract:

We discuss monoidal properties of the recently defined categories of polynomial superfunctors. In particular, we describe the Hopf algebra structure of their Grothendieck rings. This is closely related to the similar structures for representations of symmetric groups defined by Zelevinsky. This talk is based on joint work with Myungho Kim.
