Description |
Abstract: Using the Jordan canonical form, the number of conjugacy classes of nilpotent n x n matrices can be seen to be equal to the number of irreducible representations of the permutation group S_n. In this talk, I will give an introduction to the Springer correspondence which provides a deeper geometric understanding of the above numerical coincidence. |
