We provide an introduction to the 2-representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras, starting with basic properties of nil Hecke algebras and quiver Hecke algebras, and continuing with the resulting monoidal categories, which have a geometric description via quiver varieties, in certain cases. We present basic properties of 2-representations and describe simple 2-representations, via cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras, and through microlocalized quiver varieties.

A few years ago the 'hidden symmetries’ of the soliton equations had been identified as affine Lie groups, also known as loop groups. The first extensive use of the representation theory of affine Lie algebras for the soliton equations have been developed in a series of works by mathematicians of the Kyoto school. We will review some of their results and develop them further on the basis of the representation theory. Thus an orbit of the simplest affine Lie group SL(2, C)^ in the fundamental representation V will provide the solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and similarly the solutions of the sine-Gordon equation will come from an orbit of the group (SL(2, C) x SL(2, C)) ^ in V x V*.

Basil Gordon, in the sixties, and George Andrews, in the seventies, generalized the Rogers–Ramanujan identities to higher moduli. These identities arise in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. One of these areas is representation theory of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, where various known interpretations of these identities have led to interesting applications. Motivated by their connections with Lie algebra representation theory, we give a new interpretation of a sum related to generalized Rogers–Ramanujan identities in terms of multi-color partitions.
