"Schur-Weyl Duality"


Date: Fri, March 7, 2014
Time: 13:45
Place: Seminar Room (120), Research I

Abstract: This expository talk will explain the basics of Schur-Weyl duality, which relates certain irreducible representations of the general linear group GL(n) to certain irreducible representations of the symmetric group. Time permitting, explicit examples will be computed.
