Title: Subfactors and tensor categories
Abstract: We give an introductory talk about the interplay between the study of subfactors and tensor categories. We will sketch some recent results, time permitting.

Title: Complete Classification of Quantum Graphs on M2
Abstract: Over the past few years, the theory of quantum graphs has emerged as a field of growing interest. In 2022, Matsuda and Gromada have given concrete examples by classifying the undirected quantum graphs on the quantum space M2. Based on the solid theory of directed quantum graphs developed in 2024, it became possible to complete the classification of quantum graphs on M2 also in the directed case. We observe that there is a far bigger range of directed quantum graphs than of undirected quantum graphs on M2. This talk is based on a joint work with Björn Schäfer.
