| Abstract:
Representation theory is simple to define: it is the study
of the ways in which a given group may act on a vector space. There
are various choices for this group; it may be a finite group or the
general linear group over a finite field or a Lie group or possibly a
Lie group over a local field. However, for each one of these groups there
are
different approaches to its representation theory.
I will keep it simple and consider the symmetric group Sn
and a
technique to find its representation characters. Also I may talk
about Young Diagrams and the Hook formula.
