"Representations of Finite Symmetric Groups: Study of Classification Results and Roles of Young Diagrams, I."


Date: Fri, April 26, 2013
Time: 11:15
Place: East Hall 8

Abstract: The talks aim at expounding on the main results concerning the representations of finite symmetric groups (i.e permutation groups on finite sets). Essential notions such as Young diagrams will be introduced and their utility will be explained. Depending on the availability of time, some of the proofs involved will be explored in more detail.
