Location: Cupples I, Room 6 | Host: Prof. Xiang Tang

A Senior Honors Thesis Presentation.
Abstract: We begin with some basics about differential geometry and Lie groups. We then move on to representations of them, in particular finite-dimensional representations of compact groups. Finally, we talk about the Theorem of Peter and Weyl as well as some generalizations and applications.
