VIII: Schur Algebras and Polynomial Representations of GL(m)
Channel: Amritanshu Prasad
Date: 2012-03-21

Topics covered include:
1. Definition of Schur algebra
2. Equivalence between polynomial representations and modules for the Schur algebra
3. Decomposition of a polynomial representation into its homogeneous components.

The Schur functor and computation of the characters of irreducible polynomial representations of GL(m) will be discussed in the next lecture (expected within a couple of weeks).
