Hi everyone,
Our next seminar speaker will be Stavros Kousidis. Since he's Matthias's
guest, I'll let Matthias introduce him:
"Dear all,
Next week, Stavros Kousidis will be visiting us and will give a talk in
our seminar. As you can see from the abstract, he is working on rather
abstract representation theory, but in fact, he is developing some
quantum central limit theorems that may be of interest to us!
Matthias"
--Fred, your friendly organizer.

Speaker: Stavros Kousidis, Universität zu Köln

Title: Statistics of graded tensor product multiplicities
Abstract: Dimensions of invariant subspaces inside tensor products with
respect to some group action are of actual interest. We will make the
problem harder by discussing graded tensor products, which replace the
dimensions in question by polynomials. Interesting symmetries appear in
this graded setting, e.g. a conjectured Gaussian behaviour under some
limit considerations. It sounds heavy, but the talk will start by
introducing irreducible representations of SU(2). My aim is to ignore
any technicality that appears along the way, and rather to deliver a
feeling of what's going on.
