Representation Theory of Lie Groups Spring 2019

Lecturer
Paul D. Nelson
Coordinator
Subhajit Jana

The tentative outline will be as follows. Basic representation theory of compact groups (Peter-Weyl theorem, etc.) and compact Lie groups (Weyl character formula, etc.), branching problems, algebraic representations of reductive groups, basics on admissible and tempered representations of reductive groups (parabolic induction, Langlands classification, etc.), with emphasis on illustrative examples (U(n), GL(n,C), SL(2,R), etc.)

Prerequisites

Lie group I, a bit of functional analysis. Representation theory of finite groups would be helpful, but not assumed.
