    A+ ... cannot emphasize the importance of what you accomplish with these lively and honest and yet rigorous videos. In the case of Representation theory, beginning example was inspiring and of course known to my person since I program those geometries day in and day out, but refreshing how you framed the bird's-eye view of the Representation Theory as such.
    If high school teachers accordingly taught the Representation concept , of course for simpler objects, we would have found far larger theoretical talent pool than available today. And actually new talents currently missing ...

      You are always way to kind: I certainly do not deserve an A+. In any case, glad that you liked the video.

    Excited to see representations categorified, I remember reading somewhere that Frobenius reciprocity is an example of adjoint functors 50 years before Kan defined them!

    • @VisualMath
      @VisualMath  2 года назад +2

      It is even better ;-) Induction and restriction (the functors appearing in the abstract formulation of Frobenius reciprocity) are biadjoint, so left and right adjoints at the same time. That is so awesome.
      By the way: As far as I recall, Kan defined adjoint functors to abstractly model, among other things, Frobenius reciprocity. What you write sounds a bit backwards.

      @@VisualMath The right adjoint of restriciton is coinduction: Coind_H^G := Hom_{kH}(kG, M) with the action g.f(x) := f(xg). If the index of H in G is finite, then we do have a natural isomorphism between Ind_H^G and Coind_H^G, but this is not true in general because the component maps include a sum indexed by a transversal of H in G.

      @@JakubWaniek Thanks, that is right! But Frobenius reciprocity usually refers to finite groups. As you point out, then the difference can be ignored. Let us keep it simple ;-)

    This channel really needs more subscribers. So great.

      Oh, thank you so much!
      But whether this channel deserves more subscriptions is very questionable. Left aside the poor quality of my videos (ahh, needs to be improved), I think an abstract math channel is a just very niche type of channel ;-)
      Well, I like abstract math and I guess you do as well. So I personally do not care whether its rather exotic to be into some abstract nonsense such as e.g. representation theory ;-)

      Awesome, I hope you will like the RT series. Or, to be more precise, I hope you like RT! RT is so beautiful and powerful at the same time - one of my favorites.
