Title:
Decomposing symmetric powers
Speaker:
Abstract:
One problem raised recently by Langlands in connection with the trace formula was the decomposition of symmetric powers of irreducible representations of $\mathrm{GL}(2)$. There is a classical formula for this. I shall explain a new version of this formula and, with luck, describe computer experiments examining the extent to which the idea will work for other groups.
