Lie Theory/ Represention Theory Research Group

Lie theory originated from an attempt to use continuous groups of symmetries to study differential equations. The subject now plays an important role in many areas of mathematics, such as mathematical physics, number theory and geometry. Members of OSU math department study Lie theory as it relates to invariant theory, symmetries in systems of differential equations and automorphic forms. Several OSU researchers investigate the structure and invariants of representations of semisimple Lie groups through computational and geometric methods.
