OIST Representation Theory Seminar

Speaker:  Alexander Kleshchev, University of Oregon

Title: Irreducible restrictions from symmetric groups to subgroups

Abstract: We motivate, discuss history of, and present a solution to the following problem: describe pairs (G,V) where V is an irreducible representation of the symmetric group S_n of dimension >1 and G is a subgroup of S_n such that the restriction of V to G is irreducible. We do the same with the alternating group A_n in place of S_n. The latest results on the problem are joint with Pham Huu Tiep and Lucia Morotti.
