We discuss a simple construction a finite dimensional algebra("bipartite algebra") to a bipartite oriented graph, and explain how thestudy of the representation theory of these algebras produces acategorification of the cut and flow lattices of graphs. I'll also mentionwhy we suspect that bipartite algebras should arise naturally in severalother contexts. This is joint work with Anthony Licata.
