Title: Cycle index methods in algebra and number theory
Abstract: It has been said that most mathematicians have just a few tricks. In this talk, I reveal my favorite trick: cycle index generating functions. We discuss this for the symmetric group and for finite groups of Lie type. We point out connections with algebra and number theory.
