RTG Representation Theory Seminar

Borel--Weil--Bott over C

The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem describes the cohomology of line bundles on flag varieties as certain representations. In particular, the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem gives a geometric construction of the finite dimensional irreducible representations for reductive groups. In this talk, I will explicitly compute these representations for SL2(C). I will then motivate our previous computations with induced representations and Serre duality, leading to the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem for SL2(C). Lastly, I will use the Atiyah-Bott fixed point formula to deduce the Weyl character formula from our geometric representations. Speaker(s): Calvin Yost-Wolff (UM)
