Title of the course: Representation of Groups
Instructor: Prof. Marco Trombetti
Institution: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Dates: 3-9 August 2026
Prerequisites: Undergraduate algebra, basic group theory
Level: Graduate, advanced undergraduate
Abstract: The aim of this class is to introduce the audience to the theory of representations of groups by linear transformations of a vector space or, equivalently, by matrices over a field. Aside from its intrinsic interest, this theory has proved to be a most powerful tool for studying finite groups.
