Linear representation theory

The linear representation theory of groups (or representation theory or group representation theory) is the study of linear representations of groups. A linear representation of a group $G$ over a field $k$ is a homomorphism $\rho :G\to GL(V)$ where $V$ is a vector space over $k$ and $GL(V)$ denotes the general linear group of $V$, viz the group of automorphisms of $V$ as a $k$-vector space.
