Contents

Depending on the course.

Basic concepts and established results in the field of linear representation theory of groups, Lie groups, algebras, Lie algebras, or Hopf algebras in combination with related topics are presented.


Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • get an insight into a current field of research,
  • learn the basic structures and techniques of representation theory,
  • Detect cross connections between linear and non-linear structures,
  • understand abstract structures such as direct sums and tensor products as tools,
  • practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction and formulating proofs),
  • Improve their oral communication skills in the tutorials by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und in dem Aufbaumodul Algebra vermittelt werden.
