# symmetrica: Library for representation theory

## Description

Symmetrica is a Collection of C routines for representation theory.

It is a program developed by Lehrstuhl Mathematik II of the University of Bayreuth. It has routines to handle the following topics:

- ordinary representation theory of the symmetric group and related groups (2/11/04)

- ordinary representation theory of the classical groups

- modular representation theory of the symmetric group

- projective representation theory of the symmetric group

- combinatorics of tableaux

- symmetric functions and polynomials (7/22/04)

- commutative and non commutative Schubert polynomials

- operations of finite groups.

- ordinary representation theory of Hecke algebras of type A_n

Updated package on https://gitlab.com/sagemath/symmetrica/-/releases with changes to modernize the source and the build system.
