Representation Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics Unit

Representation Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics Unit hero

Representation theory is a rich subject within algebra with connections to many other areas of mathematics. Our unit is focused on those parts of representation theory that generalise the study of symmetric groups in several directions. In particular, for the algebras arising in our research, algebraic combinatorics drives much of the structure we study, which largely centers around the philosophy of “decomposing representations”.
