Representation theory and geometry
Geordie Williamson
Abstract: One of the most fundamental questions in representation theory asks for a description of the simple representations. I will give an introduction to this problem with an emphasis on the representation theory of Lie groups and algebras. A recurring theme is the appearance of geometric techniques in seemingly algebraic problems.
