Problems of representation theory

• Given a group or an algebra, describe

irreducible characters,

natural bases in irreducible representations,

tensor product multiplicities.

Example:

Finite-dimensional representations of sln(C):

Schur polynomials,

Young tableaux,

Littlewood-Richardson rule.
