Student Reading Seminar (2020 summer)
Student Reading Seminar (2020 summer)
This seminar is an opportunity for students to study Lie algebra and its representation theory. Lie algebras are widely used in many parts in mathematics and physics. Its representation theory and classificationare powerful materials in studying representation theory and in various parts of theoretical physics.
We are going to follow the book Introduction to Lie Algebras and Representation Theory (GTM 9) written by Humphreys, James E.
