This Week’s Finds – Lecture 3

Young diagrams are combinatorial structures that show up in a myriad of applications. Here we explain how to classify irreducible representations of classical groups, and especially the “full linear monoid” consisting of all n × n complex matrices, using Young diagrams.

For the full story on representations of the classical groups, read my paper “Young diagrams and classical groups” here:
