DESCRIPTION:The interplay of electron-electron interactions and spin-orbit
  coupling has been the subject of much debate recently. On the one hand\, 
 spin-orbit coupling is at the heart of novel materials such as topological
  insulators and superconductors as well as Dirac and Weyl semimetals. On t
 he other hand\, interactions lead to many-body states responsible for ferr
 omagnetism\, ferroelectricity and superconductivity. It is quite likely\, 
 therefore\, that interactions give rise to exotic phases in strongly spin-
 orbit coupled systems. In this talk\, I will discuss possible effects of e
 lectron-electron interactions in systems with strong spin-orbit coupling\,
  focussing on topological insulators and electron- and hole-doped semicond
 uctors
