The representation theory of quantum groups including at roots of unity is an important part of Lie representation theory. In this talk, we will study one of categories of representations: the quantum category 𝒪, which is a suitable analogue of the classical Bernstein-Gelfand category 𝒪. We will relate it to a model representation category, the affine Hecke category, more precisely to the heart of the new t-structure on that category (all these terms will be defined in the lectures).

The lectures are based on this arXiv paper.
