Title: An introduction to the uses of representation theory in algebraic geometry
Abstract: Algebraic geometry is a way of using the polynomial functions on an object to study its underlying geometry of it. When there is a group acting on the object of interest, it is often useful to use the representation theory of the group to simplify the study. In this talk, I will use the twisted cubic as an example. We will dig into the syzygy of its coordinate ring and how the representation theory helps us visualize it.
