6、Normal Univ.(Nat.Sci.)Jun.2023The classification of irreducible representations(up to isomorphism)of a given group is a fundamental problemin the representation theory.Let G be a connected reductive group over a field k,e.g.GLn(k),SLn(k).Therepresentation of G plays a prominent role in various areas
