Colloquium
Speaker: Patrick Polo (Visiting Professor IIT Bombay)
Host: Dipendra Prasad
Title: Representation theory of Algebraic groups in characteristic p
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM, Monday, March 3
Abstract: Representation theory of Algebraic groups in characteristic
zero was completed by Cartan and Weyl a century back. But the
representation theory of Algebraic groups, such as SL(n), in
characteristic p, is still not understood in spite of efforts of many
mathematicians. This Colloquium talk will be an introduction to the
subject as well as to a course which the speaker will give here of about
6 to 8 lectures, starting on Tuesday 4th March.
