For a ring R\, it is a 2-sided R-module\; for a group G\, it is a right G-module\; for a commutative ring R\, it is just an R-module\; for a Lie a lgebra L it is the usual notion of L-module. These depend on the ambient c ategory of course. But when a student in Paris named Leonard Guetta asked me what was a Beck module for a monoid\, I assumed it was an ordinary modu le. But I was wrong. I will describe what it actually is. Notes for the ta lk are available on the seminar webpage.\n DTSTART:20171024T183000Z DTEND:20171024T193000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:M.
