A major concern in Group Theory is the question of linearity of a given group and, in case the group is linear, the question of determining all its possible Linear Representations.<\/p>\n
While this question is entirely of algebraic nature, many times one approaches it using transcendental methods.<\/p>\n
Ergodic Theory, classically involves the study of the evolution of a system through time, is, in modern view, the study of symmetries of a Random System.<\/p>\n
Through the last few decades, many profound applications of Ergodic Theoretical techniques to Linear Group Theory were found.<\/p>\n
In my talk I will survey some of these classical results, as well as some of the more recent ones, and I will try to hint on a mathematical theory which partially explains why is Ergodic Theory so prominent in Linear Group Theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
