Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an introductory course about linear representations of finite and infinite groups. We study both classical results such as Schur's lemma and Maschke's theorem and more advanced topics such as unitary representations of amenable groups and groups with Kazhdan's property (T). We analyze briefly a relation to group C*-algebras and infinite expander graphs. Both discrete and locally compact groups are discussed.

Assessment and permitted materials

Presentation or test.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course is open to students of all degrees (Bachelor, Master or PhD). The knowledge of the following fundamental concepts is required: groups, vector spaces, linear transformations.
