Title:  Geometric Satake for dummies (and quantum dummies)

Abstract: We describe the Geometric Satake equivalence (and a quantum deformation in type A) in down-to-earth terms, using bimodules over polynomial rings. We describe recent work of Elias and Williamson which generalizes this quantum deformation beyond type A using K-theoretic singular Soergel bimodules.
