McKay correspondence I

Abstract: John McKay observed, in 1980, that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the nontrivial finite subgroups of SU(2) (up to conjugation) and connected Euclidean graphs (other than the Jordan graph) up to isomorphism. In these talk, we shall first examine the finite subgroups of SU(2) and then establish this one-to-one correspondence, using the representation theory of finite groups.
