ICERM Semester Program: Automorphic Forms, Combinatorial Representation Theory and Multiple Dirichlet Series
Month: January 2013
Date: January 28--May 3
Name: ICERM Semester Program: Automorphic Forms, Combinatorial Representation Theory and Multiple Dirichlet Series
Location: ICERM, Providence, Rhode Island.
Description
This program will explore this interface between automorphic forms and combinatorial representation theory, and will develop computational tools for facilitating investigations. On the automorphic side, Whittaker functions on p-adic groups and their covers are the fundamental objects. Whittaker functions and their relatives are expressible in terms of combinatorial structures on the associated L-group, its flag variety, or Schubert varieties. In the combinatorial theory crystal graphs, Demazure characters, the Schubert calculus and Kazhdan-Lusztig theory all enter.
