Rinat Kedem: From Q-systems to quantum affine algebras and beyond
Abstract: The theory of cluster algebras has proved useful in proving theorems about the characters of graded tensor products or Demazure modules, via the Q-system. Upon quantization, the algebra associated with this system is shown to be related to a quantum affine algebra. Graded charact
