Representation theory (RT) is a theoretical linguistic framework in the generative tradition, created and developed by Edwin S. Williams – chiefly in an eponymous monograph of 2003. Williams compares it with other frameworks such as Noam Chomsky's minimalist program, and argues that his proposal has significant descriptive and conceptual advantages over them. The substance of the proposal is that linguistic derivation is the result of mappings and mismappings between an open set of 'representations', which in one dimension correspond to increasingly larger locality domains and in the other pair 'syntactic' (sentential and sub-sentential) and 'semantic' (as well as pragmatic) levels. Cross-linguistic variation is then accounted for by the prioritisation of 'faithfulness' to some representations over others. (Wikipedia).
Representation theory: Introduction
This lecture is an introduction to representation theory of finite groups. We define linear and permutation representations, and give some examples for the icosahedral group. We then discuss the problem of writing a representation as a sum of smaller ones, which leads to the concept of irr

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

Representation Theory: We present basic concepts about the representation theory of finite groups. Representations are defined, as are notions of invariant subspace, irreducibility and full reducibility. For a general finite group G, we suggest an analogue to the finite abelian case, whe

Representation theory: Induced representations
We define induced representations of finite groups in two ways as either left or right adjoints of the restriction functor. We calculate the character of an induced representation, and give an example of an induced representation of S3.

Representation theory: Abelian groups
This lecture discusses the complex representations of finite abelian groups. We show that any group is iomorphic to its dual (the group of 1-dimensional representations, and isomorphic to its double dual in a canonical way (Pontryagin duality). We check the orthogonality relations for the
