Abstract

The main goal of this project is to provide the student with a solid background so that he can immediately start working on specific problems in Lie theoretic representation theory or related areas upon his graduation, especially in the realm of affine Kac-Moody algebras. Most likely it will be possible to start working on a specific problem related to Frobenius-Schur duality during this IC program. (AU)
