Student Representation Theory Seminar
This semester, the student seminar will focus on Symplectic Duality. Each week, a participant will give a talk lasting between one to one-and-a-half hours. The talks are not recorded, but notes will be uploaded to this website after each talk. All graduate students with an interest in Representation Theory and Algebraic Geometry are encouraged to attend. There is no prerequisites for attending the seminar; although, basic knowledge of representation theory of finite groups, Lie algebras, and algebraic geometry is certainly helpful.
