The next meeting of the seminar this year will take place, IYH, on

(when)  Tuesday, 25 Marcheshvan (Nov. 6)
        refreshments at 11:45, talk at 12:00 noon

(where) Room 331 (Math Dept Seminar Room),

(who)   Avital Frumkin (Tel-Aviv University)

        will talk about

(what)  "Asymptotic behavior of Kronekcer coefficients for 
        two Young diagrams in a (k,l)-hook"

Abstract:
---------
Using representation theory of the general Lie superalgebra of type (k,l),
and especially the double commutant theorem of Berele-Regev and Sergeev, we
can express approximately the way in which the tensor product of two
irreducible representations of the symmetric group, corresponding to
diagrams contained in the (k,l)-hook, is reduced.
This is a non trivial generalization of the works of Christandel and Mitchison
on Young diagrams in the k-strip, about which I first heard from Danny Slutsky.
