The SL(3) web basis is a special basis of certain spaces of tensor invariants developed in the late 90's by Khovanov and Kuperberg as a tool for computing quantum link invariants. Since then this basis has found connections and applications to cluster algebras, canonical bases, dimer models, and tableau combinatorics. The main open problem has remained: how to find a basis replicating the desirable properties of this basis for SL(4) and beyond? I will describe joint work with Oliver Pechenik, Stephan Pfannerer, Jessica Striker, and Josh Swanson in which we construct such a basis for SL(4). Modified versions of plabic graphs and the six-vertex model and new tableau combinatorics will appear along the way, but knowledge of these topics won't be assumed in the talk.
