Course description and aims
A group representation on a vector space is a group homomorphism from a group to the group of invertible linear transformations on a vector space.
In this course, we explain the definition and basic properties of group representations, and then explain the definition and basic properties of group characters.
The aim of this course is to explain fundamental facts in the representation theory of finite groups.
Student learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to be able to write down explicitly character tables of some groups of small order, such as symmetric groups and dihedral groups.
Keywords
finite group, symmetric group, representation, character, character table
