Abstract

I will talk about a beautiful piece of mathematics developed in the late fifties, which gives a complete answer to the following question:

To what extent is a ring determined by its modules?

In order to make the question precise and to provide the answer, we will use elementary category theory and representation theory, with which I assume no familiarity. If time permits, I will hint at how the question and its answer generalize to more exotic contexts.
