Description
The field of combinatorial representation theory begins with the
fundamental result about the classification of all the finite dimensional
representations of Symmetric group, S_n using Young Tableaux. This result
opened up a whole new world of classifying finite dimensional
representations of many other important groups and lie algebras. In this
talk I am going to start with defining Young tableaux and a representation
of Symmetric group and finally talk about this famous result connecting
the two things. The talk is based on the paper "Combinatorial
Representation Theory" by Helene Barcelo and Arun Ram. (I am going
to try to make it accessible to everyone, so no knowledge of
representation theory and Young tableaux is going to be assumed)
