# MaPSS: Mathematical Postgraduate Seminar Series: Alexander Kerschl -- Young tableaux and their application in the representation theory of the symmetric group

Dear All,

We are delighted to present the MaPSS Seminar topic of Monday 4th April; please see the
abstract below.

**From this Semester the Seminar will always run on Monday, at 5:00pm in 535A**

Following the talk, there will be pizza on offer.

Speaker: Alexander Kerschl ( Sydney University )

Title: Young tableaux and their application in the representation theory of the
symmetric group

Abstract: The aim of this talk is to introduce Young tableaux and study their
combinatorial properties. Ultimately aiming to use them to describe the representation
theory of the symmetric group over the complex numbers.  If there is enough time I’ll
outline other applications and properties of Young tableaux as well.
