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.

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.
