When studying representations of a group or group scheme, we can find new representations by "adding" (taking a direct sum) or "multiplying" (taking a tensor product) two representations. In this way, we have a structure on the category of representations similar to a ring. With some additional conditions to make this nice, we call such a category a (symmetric) tensor category. In this talk we will look at examples of other tensor categories and see how representation theory leads to a conjectured classification of all symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth.
