Random matrices and asymptotic representation theory
This short course is dedicated to connections between the theory of random matrices and asymptotic representation theory. In particular we will review the relation of Marchenco-Pastur distribution of eigenvalues limit density of Wishart random matrices to the limit shapes of Young diagrams for Schur-Weyl duality, derived by P. Biane.

修课要求
Some knowledge of representation theory of Lie groups or symmetric group and random matrix theory would be helpful. Demonstrations require the use of Python programming language and Sage computer algebra system, so some experience here would be a plus. There is some overlap with material of my previous course "From free fermions to limit shapes and beyond" and connections to the courses "Representation theory of symmetric groups", "Asymptotic representation theory" by Pavel Nikitin and "Topics in Random matrix theory" by Fan Yang.
