A common theme in mathematics is that limits of finite objects
are well behaved. This allows one to prove many theorems about
finitely approximable objects, while leaving the general case open
--- examples for this are Gottschalk's conjecture...
The Kronecker coefficients of the Symmetric group Sn are the
multiplicities of an irreducible Sn representation in the tensor
product of two other irreducibles. They were introduced in 1938 by
Murnaghan and generalize the beloved Littlewood...
