چکیده
The Littlewood-Richardson rule computes many things, including: – decomposition of symmetric group representations under symmetric sub groups – decomposition of tensor products of GLn representations – intersection theory on Grassmannians GLn/P . while their positivity controls other things such as eigenvalue inequalities on the sums of Hermitian matrices and short exact sequences of finite abelian groups. The problem of finding a purely combinatorial rule for flag manifolds GLn/B remains unsolved despite the attention of many people. Hugh Thomas and the speaker have recently shown that a different generalization of the problem, to (co)minuscule flag manifolds G/P , is as tractable as, and shares many features with the Grassmannian case. Understanding the singularities of the Schubert varieties (rather than their intersections, as was the focus above) also has had considerable interest. We describe work with Alex Woo, which constructs a combinatorial model for this study, leading to new geometric results and further questions, being approached using algebraic, geometric and combinatorial methods. Refreshments served at 3:30 p.m. in the Math Dept. COMMON ROOM, Thackeray 705 ∗The speaker is a candidate for a position in the Department.

A remark on asymptotic enumeration of highest weights in tensor powers of a representation
We consider the semigroup $S$ of highest weights appearing in tensor powers $V^{otimes k}$ of a finite dimensional representation $V$ of a connected reductive group. We describe the cone generated by $S$ as the cone over the weight polytope of $V$ intersected with the positive Weyl chamber. From this we get a description for the asymptotic of the number of highest weights appearing in $V^{otime...
متن کاملmethod, Jack measure, and the Metropolis algorithm
Version of 11/13/03 By Jason Fulman University of Pittsburgh Department of Mathematics 301 Thackeray Hall Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Email: [email protected] Abstract: The one parameter family of Jackα measures on partitions is an important discrete analog of Dyson’s β ensembles of random matrix theory. Except for special values of α = 1/2, 1, 2 which have group theoretic interpretations, the Jack...
