Speaker: 
Alexander Shapiro
Speaker affiliation: 
University of Toronto
Event description: 

In the first half of the talk I will explain relations between quantum groups, quantum parallel transports, and cluster Poisson varieties. In the second half I will speak about cluster structure appearing in q-Whittaker functions. The talk will be based onjoint works with Gus Schrader.
