Brief description
The theory of dynamical systems studies the long-term evolution of systems, which takes place under constant and deterministic rules. The evolution may thus be given (in the discrete time case) by the iterates of a certain map, or (in the continuous time case) by the solutions of an ODE, etc. The aim of the theory is to describe regular and chaotic properties of some classes of systems, study their stability and determine their invariants (such as entropy). |

The lecture aims to present the classical results concerning the structure and linear representation theory of finite dimensional algebras over fields. The following will be discussed: correspondence between theory of modules and representation theory, simple modules, radical algebras and classification of semi-simple associative algebras. Applications will be given to the representation theory of finite groups, through results concerning group algebras and the theory of group characters. Examples of applications will be discussed. Basic information on finite dimensional Lie algebras and their representations will be given. As a tool in this theory, universal enveloping algebras and their properties will be discussed |
