Course - Introduction to Representation Theory of Finite Groups
Instructor
Scope
Representation theory of finite groups is one of the important theories in mathematical branches. It concerns the study of abstract finite groups by using concrete matrices. In this seminar, we provide basic notions of this theory. It will be suitable for students who have taken undergraduate courses involving group theory and linear algebra.
Book
Representations and Characters of Groups by Gordon James and Martin Liebeck.
The Symmetric Group by Bruce E. Sagan.
