Title: Something about Representation Theory
Abstract: In this talk I will introduce basic concepts and ideas about representation and character theory of finite groups. My focus will be in particular on the case of symmetric groups where combinatorics plays a fundamental role. In the final part I briefly present the concept of centralizer algebra arised in order to attack important conjectures in representation theory. Again I will put the attention on symmetric groups touching the heart of my research project and showing first improvements on it.
