I will give a flavor of geometric representation theory by discussing one particular object: equivariant homology of affine Grassmannian (which is some infinite-dimensional algebro-geometric object). I will discuss its relation to topology (Bott periodicity), mathematical physics (Coulomb branch), and number theory (Langlands functoriality).
