Hopf algebras and their categorifications via planar diagrammatics
by
Mikhail Khovanov
Columbia University

We will review how various families of Hopf algebras, including quantum groups and Hopf algebras of noncommutative symmetric functions, can be defined via bilinear forms of diagrammatical origin. Related diagrammatical calculi are crucial for categorifications of these Hopf algebras.
