Basics of Young tableaux
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Andrew Berget, UC Davis |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, May 5 2011, 11:00AM |
This talk is aimed at first year graduate students who might be interested pursuing combinatorics. I'll introduce the most ubiquitous objects of algebraic combinatorics: Young tableaux. I'll give an idea how to associate a matrix to a pair of tableaux (and vice versa), why a person might want to do this, and how to enumerate tableaux by their shape.
