Title: Partition Algebra

Speaker: Yohana Solomon

Abstract

The centralizer algebra of the permutation representation for the symmetric group has a combinatorial basis given by the set partitions. This algebra is known as the partition algebra. In this talk, we will look at the representation theory of the partition algebra and some of its combinatorial results.
