Computer Science seminar

Affiliation : BGU
Location : -101/58
Host : Dr. Eitan Bachmat
In preparation for reading Okounkov's paper, "Random matrices and random permutations", which links the asymptotics of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation, to that of the largest eigenvalue of a random Hermitian matrix, we considersome results from representation theory of the symmetric group which are needed later on. the exposition will be self contained and will not rely on the previous lectures.
