Issai Schur (10 January 1875 – 10 January 1941) was a Russian mathematician who worked in Germany for most of his life. He studied at the University of Berlin. He obtained his doctorate in 1901, became lecturer in 1903 and, after a stay at the University of Bonn, professor in 1919. As a student of Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, he worked on group representations (the subject with which he is most closely associated), but also in combinatorics and number theory and even theoretical physics. He is perhaps best known today for his result on the existence of the Schur decomposition and for his work on group representations (Schur's lemma). Schur published under the name of both I. Schur, and J. Schur, the latter especially in Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. This has led to some confusion. (Wikipedia).

Representation theory: The Schur indicator
This is about the Schur indicator of a complex representation. It can be used to check whether an irreducible representation has in invariant bilinear form, and if so whether the form is symmetric or antisymmetric. As examples we check which representations of the dihedral group D8, the

Claude Lefèvre: Discrete Schur-constant models in inssurance
Abstract : This paper introduces a class of Schur-constant survival models, of dimension n, for arithmetic non-negative random variables. Such a model is defined through a univariate survival function that is shown to be n-monotone. Two general representations are obtained, by conditioning

RT4.2. Schur's Lemma (Expanded)
Representation Theory: We introduce Schur's Lemma for irreducible representations and apply it to our previous constructions. In particular, we identify Hom(V,V) with invariant sesquilinear forms on V when (pi, V) is unitary. Course materials, including problem sets and solutions, availa

RT8.1. Schur Orthogonality Relations
Representation Theory of Finite Groups: As a first step to Fourier analysis on finite groups, we state and prove the Schur Orthogonality Relations. With these relations, we may form an orthonormal basis of matrix coefficients for L^(G), the set of functions on G. We also define charac
