Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group

Klappentext The Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group provides an account of both the ordinary and modular representation theory of the symmetric groups. Zusammenfassung The Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group provides an account of both the ordinary and modular representation theory of the symmetric groups. The range of applications of this theory is vast! varying from theoretical physics! through combinatories to the study of polynomial identity algebras; and new uses are still being found.
