When you classify something finite, then you can answer concrete questions about it, like "how many of them are there?" or "how many satisfying property X?" Of course, I won't claim that you can't classify things which there are infinitely many of, but that it's easy for such an exercise to become meaningless at times. | |

| Dec 9, 2010 at 15:17 | comment | added | Jan Weidner | No, I thought in this "easy" case, there could be a description of all irreps. Maybe that was stupid. | |
