The Student Working Seminar in Algebra and Geometry (aka SWAG) is a seminar organized and run by graduate students, for graduate students. The goal of the seminar is to provide graduate students with a space in which to share and discuss topics in Algebra and Geometry that they are interested and learning about. The emphasis of the seminar is in clarity and good understanding of the material, prioritizing them over speed or amount of material covered.

The structure of the seminar consists of weekly meetings on

This semester we will be following Iain Gordon's Representation Theory lectures.

Lecture notes providing a basic introduction to representation theory can be found in:

• Representation Theory by Constantin Teleman.

Several books that may be helpful to deepen into the material covered are:

• Lie Groups: An Approach through Invariants and Representations by Claudio Procesi.
• A Tour of Representation Theory by Martin Lorenz.
