One of the major approaches to representation theory is via support theories. They come in different flavors and have different origins. The talk will be a gentle introduction to noncommutative tensor triangular geometry, which is designed as a universal approach to support varieties. No algebraic or categorical background will be assumed. The talk is based on joint works with Dan Nakano (Univ Georgia) and Kent Vashaw (UCLA).
