Irreducible component

In algebraic geometry, an irreducible algebraic set or irreducible variety is an algebraic set that cannot be written as the union of two proper algebraic subsets. An irreducible component is an algebraic subset that is irreducible and maximal (for set inclusion) for this property. For example, the set of solutions of the equation xy = 0 is not irreducible, and its irreducible components are the two lines of equations x = 0 and y =0. It is a fundamental theorem of classical algebraic geometry that every algebraic set may be written in a unique way as a finite union of irreducible components. These concepts can be reformulated in purely topological terms, using the Zariski topology, for which the closed sets are the algebraic subsets: A topological space is irreducible if it is not the union of two proper closed subsets, and an irreducible component is a maximal subspace (necessarily closed) that is irreducible for the induced topology. Although these concepts may be considered for every topological space, this is rarely done outside algebraic geometry, since most common topological spaces are Hausdorff spaces, and, in a Hausdorff space, the irreducible components are the singletons.

Alina Ostafe: Dynamical irreducibility of polynomials modulo primes

Abstract: In this talk we look at polynomials having the property that all compositional iterates are irreducible, which we call dynamical irreducible. After surveying some previous results (mostly over finite fields), we will concentrate on the question of the dynamical irreducibility of

RT8.3. Finite Groups: Projection to Irreducibles

Representation Theory: Having classified irreducibles in terms of characters, we adapt the methods of the finite abelian case to define projection operators onto irreducible types. Techniques include convolution and weighted averages of representations. At the end, we state and prove th

Representation theory: Orthogonality relations

This lecture is about the orthogonality relations of the character table of complex representations of a finite group. We show that these representations are unitary and deduce that they are all sums of irreducible representations. We then prove Schur's lemma describing the dimension of t

RT7.3. Finite Abelian Groups: Convolution

Representation Theory: We define convolution of two functions on L^2(G) and note general properties. Three themes: convolution as an analogue of matrix multiplication, convolution with character as an orthogonal projection on L^2(G), and using using convolution to project onto irreduci

RT6. Representations on Function Spaces

Representation Theory: We note how to transfer a group action of a group G on a set X to a group action on F(X), the functions on X. Because F(X) is a vector space, we obtain a representation of the group, and we can apply previous techniques. In particular, the group acts on itself in
