Title: On the irreducible representations of compact simply-connected Lie groups
Speaker: Professor Benedict Gross
Speaker Info: Harvard
Brief Description:
Special Note: Graduate Student Colloquium
Abstract:

I'll give an introduction to the theory of Cartan and Weyl, describing the irreducible representations explicitly in the simplest case when G = SU(2), and in terms of regular orbits of the Weyl group on characters of a maximal torus in general.
