Goal.
Explaining basic concepts of representation theory in an intuitive way.

This time.
What is…a character table? Or: The gist of the matter!?

Disclaimer.
Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references.

Disclaimer.
Representation theory is a vast field, and a representation could be of a group, an associative algebra, a Lie algebra etc., and these even in flavors. These subfields are similar, but then also different in nature. So to be precise, this video series is mostly about finite dimensional representations of finite groups and monoids.

Slides.

Website with exercises.

Character table.

G := Alt(4);
CT := CharacterTable(G);

Characters of finite groups.

A bit of history.

Pictures used.

Some books I am using (I sometimes steal some pictures from there).

Which video do you address the topic of conjugacy classes in representation theory?
