"Representations of Symmetric Groups via the RSK Correspondence"
Abstract

: 

 I will explain how the purely combinatorial Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence can be used to give a simple proof of the classification
 of irreducible representations of symmetric groups in the semisimple case. It turns out that all the standard results in the representation theory 
 of symmetric groups can be recovered using this approach.
