Tensor triangular geometry associates a rich geometric structure, the spectrum, to a “nice” category where one can add, subtract and multiply objects. Examples include modules over a commutative ring and representations of a finite group. I’ll give an introduction to tensor triangular geometry via the classical notion of support and present some examples of calculations where pictures and diagrams of different degrees of beauty will appear.
