Title |
Noetherianity properties in representation theory |
Abstract |
I will survey some work on using noetherian properties of algebraic structures to prove stability results for functions and vector spaces coming from combinatorial representation theory and classical algebraic geometry. Some examples include Kronecker coefficients from the representation theory of the symmetric groups and Segre embeddings of products of projective spaces. No prior knowledge of representation theory or algebraic geometry is assumed and all of the terminology will be defined in the talk. |
