Representation Theory II (V4A3)

Exam. There will be written exams at the end of the semester. Seminar. There will also be a seminar on representations of SL₂. Instructors. Dr. Jonas Antor Dr. Johannes Flake Lectures. Tutorials. in Endenicher Allee 60, Neubau, N 0.003:References. Prerequisites. Fundamental or good understanding of representation theory, for instance, from Foundations of Representation Theory and/or Representation Theory I. Basic familiarity with algebraic varieties (such as the ones covered Foundations of Representation Theory). Course content. The aim of this course is to discuss algebraic groups and tensor categories, and their fundamental role in representation theory. In the process, we will explore interesting connections to finite groups and Lie algebras.
