Representations and degenerations
Snapshots of modern mathematics from Oberwolfach
Representations and degenerations
In this snapshot, we explain two important mathematical concepts (representation and degeneration) in elementary terms. We will focus on the simplest meaningful examples, and motivate both concepts by study of symmetry.
