Contents

From [MAT-43-26-K-7] Reflection Groups:
Reflection groups are omnipresent in Mathematics. We concentrate on finite reflection groups over a field of characteristic zero and their
  • central examples (including symmetrical groups),
  • structural theory,
  • representation theory.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have become familiar with a large class of finite reflection groups over a field of characteristic zero. They learned how ubiquitous mirror groups are in Mathematics and gained deep insights into the structure and representation theory of mirror groups. They are able to name the essential statements of the lecture as well as to classify and explain the presented connections. They understand the proofs from the lecture and are able to comprehend and explain them.

By completing the given exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods taught in the lecture. They have learnt how to apply the methods to new problems, analyze them and develop solution strategies independently or by team work.

Literature

From [MAT-43-26-K-7] Reflection Groups:
  • J. E. Humphreys: Reflection groups and Coxeter groups,
  • G. D. James: The representation theory of the symmetric groups,
  • M. Broué: Introduction to complex reflection groups and their braid groups.

Materials

Further literature will be announced in the lecture.
