Colloquium

  •  Jenny Wilson, University of Michigan
  •  Stability patterns in configuration spaces
  •  09/15/2022
  •  4:10 PM - 5:00 PM
  •  Online (virtual meeting) (Virtual Meeting Link)
  •  Olga Turanova (turanova@msu.edu)

This talk will give an introduction of the recent field of 'representation stability'. I will discuss how we can use representation theory to illuminate the structure of certain families of groups or topological spaces with actions of the symmetric groups, focusing on configuration spaces as an illustrative example.
