Lecturer(s):

Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Supercharacters and their superpowers
Description:
Supercharacter theory, a generalization of character theory, was developed originally by Carlos Andre and then picked up and studied more extensively by Persi Diaconis and I. M. Isaacs. This new development in finite group representation theory has spurred much exciting work, leading to a range of results in algebraic combinatorics and number theory. I will begin at the (very) beginning, so no prior experience in supercharacter theory is required.
