CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
To provide a gentle introduction to algebraic combinatorics.
To acquaint the students with the sine-qua-non of combinatorial algorithms Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, basics of group representations, and the representations of the symmetric group.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Learn the definition of tableaux, semi-standard and standard (Young) Tableaux.
Be able to apply inserting-sliding operations
Learn the monoid pf words, and the interplay with tableaux via the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence
Learn the Littlewood-Richardson rule.
Learn the basics of group representations
Learn the representations of the symmetric group
Learn other basic combinatorial algorithms in the context of representations of the symmetric group and Young tableaux besides jeu-de-taquin, such as Viennot's construction.
Learn the basics of symmetric functions.
