Title: A new program on quantum subgroups

Abstract: Quantum subgroups have been studied since the 1980s. The A, D, E classification of subgroups of quantum SU(2) is a quantum analogue of the McKay correspondence. It turns out to be related to various areas in mathematics and physics. Inspired by the quantum McKay correspondence, we introduce a new program that our group at Harvard is developing.
