Group algebras of permutations have proved highly useful in solving a number of problems in large N gauge theories. I review the use of permutations in classifying gauge invariants in one-matrix and multi-matrix models and computing their correlators. These methods are also applicable to tensor models and have revealed a link between tensor models and the counting of branched covers. The key idea is to parametrize $U(N)$ gauge invariants using permutations, subject to equivalences. Correlators are related to group theoretic properties of these equivalence classes. Fourier transformation on symmetric groups by means of representation theory offers nice bases of functions on these equivalence classes. This has applications in AdS/CFT in identifying CFT duals of giant gravitons and their perturbations. It has also lead to general results on quiver gauge theory correlators, uncovering links to two dimensional topological field theory and the combinatorics of trace monoids.
This survey paper describes Springer fibers, which are used in one of the earliest examples of a geometric representation. We will compare and contrast them with Schubert varieties, another family of subvarieties of the flag variety that play an impo
We develop a geometrical structure of the manifolds $Gamma$ and $hatGamma$ associated respectively to the gauge symmetry and to the BRST symmetry. Then, we show that ($hatGamma,hatzeta,Gamma$), where $hatzeta$ is the group of BRST transformations, is
Supersymmetric D-brane bound states on a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ are counted by generalized Donaldsdon-Thomas invariants $Omega_Z(gamma)$, depending on a Chern character (or electromagnetic charge) $gammain H^*(X)$ and a stability condition (or cent
We identify the dimension of the centralizer of the symmetric group $mathfrak{S}_d$ in the partition algebra $mathcal{A}_d(delta)$ and in the Brauer algebra $mathcal{B}_d(delta)$ with the number of multidigraphs with $d$ arrows and the number of disj
In this paper we consider tree-level gauge invariant off-shell amplitudes (Wilson line form factors) in $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM with arbitrary number of off-shell gluons or equivalently Wilson line operator insertions. We make a conjecture for the Grassma
