The course is an introduction to the Polya’s theory in order to answer
questions such as:
-Up to isomorphism, how many graphs on n vertices are there?
-Up to rotational symmetry, how many ways can we color the faces of a cube?
-How many necklaces can be formed using 8 beads of 3 different colors?
The mini-course will be self-contained, and will start by reviewing definitions and main results involving group actions and permutation groups. Important results from permutation groups such as orbit-stabilizer theorem, Burnside’s theorem and Polya’s enumeration theorem will be proved. These theorems will be followed by many examples and interesting applications.
