Location: Parker Hall 248

Details:

Dr. Luke Oeding will continue to speak in the Linear Algebra Seminar.  Below is the information of his proposed talk.  FYI, the link to the file of his talk on September 10 has been posted on the seminar website. http://www.auburn.edu/academic/cosam/departments/math/seminars/linear-algebra.htm

Speaker:  Luke Oeding
Title:
  Tensors: Representation Theory and Geometry

Abstract:  This lecture is intended to be basic covering background material related to tensors, representation theory and geometry.

Topics I hope to include:  Representation Theory of S_n and SL_n(C),  Schur's Lemma, Schur-Weyl duality, Tensor products of vector spaces, Polynomials on tensors, Some classical algebraic varieties related to tensors and their ideals, Open questions.
