CIMPA school "Hopf Algebras and Tensor Categories", Argentina, July 25-August 5, 2019

The CIMPA school "Hopf Algebras and Tensor Categories", was sussessfully held in Cordoba, Argentina from July 29 until August 5, 2019.

The school's main goals were:
-To introduce students to the area of (pointed) Hopf algebras and tensor categories
-To connect researchers with undergraduate students from Argentina who want to pursue doctoral studies
-To connect Pd.D. Students with researchers to expand their lines of research

All goals were achieved during the conference.

There were six courses in the school:

1. Gastón García from Universidad Nacional de la Plata, Argentina: Introduction to Hopf algebras.
2. Iván Angiono from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina: The lifting method.
3. Istvan Heckenberger from Philipps Universiy of Marburg, Germany: Introduction to Nichols algebras.
4. Julia Plavnik from Indiana University, USA: An introduction to tensor and modular categories.
5. Sergey Neshveyev from Mathematics Institute, University of Oslo, Norway: Compact quantum groups.
6. Chelsea Walton from Temple University, USA: Ring-theoretic and homological properties of Hopf algebras and (co)module algebras.
