representation theory

Groups

• Basic definitions and properties of representations, including Schur's Lemma and Maschke's Theorem.
• The representation theory of finite groups, including Schur orthogonality.
• Fundamental constructions such as tensor product, dual representations and induced representations.
• Representation theory of compact groups, including the Peter-Weyl Theorem.
• Description of the irreducible representations of \(S_n, {\operatorname{SU}}_2, {\operatorname{SO}}_3, {\mathfrak{sl}}_2({\mathbb{C}})\).
