The partition algebra was originally defined independently by Martin and Jones in the 1990s. It is a diagram algebra and satisfies a double centraliser property with the symmetric group. In this talk, I will define an affine version of the partition algebra by generators and relations and describe some of its properties. I will also relate it to the affine partition category recently defined by Brundan and Vargas. This is joint work with Samuel Creedon.
