Tensor categories and functors naturally form moduli spaces. In many cases tangent spaces can be identified with certain cohomology, the deformation cohomology, controlling deformations of its structural constraints. As an example we look at the deformation cohomology of tensor categories generated by one object (the so-called Schur-Weyl categories).

Professor Alexei Davydov got his PhD from Moscow University 1992, and worked at Moscow University as assistant professor from 1990 to 1998. After working at National University of Singapore, Macquarie University and Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, he became a visiting professor at University of New Hampshire. Professor Davydov have been working at Ohio University since 2012, and became a professor there since 2019. Professor Davydov is interested in algebra, representation theory and their connections to mathematical physics, specializing in Hopf algebras, quantum groups, tensor categories and their applications in conformal field theory.
