The Center of the Integral Symmetric Group Algebra
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Jeff Ferreira, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |

I'll give a talk in two parts: First, I would like to define Jucys-Murphy elements in the integral group algebra of S_n, while also noting how they can be obtained from the associated Hecke algebra. Second, I would like to prove that the center of the integral symmetric group algebra is generated by elementary symmetric function in the Jucys-Murphy elements.
