Irreducible Representations of GL(n) over a Finite Field
Abstract: Following a brief introduction to representation theory, I will present Gel'fand and Graev's proof that an irreducible representation of GL(n) over a finite field is contained in a certain representation with multiplicity not greater than one. I will then discuss the generalizations of this result to local and global fields.
