DR. NULAND: "Welcome to the 212th meeting of the Beaumont Medical Club and the First Annual John F. Fulton Lecture. "We have today received two communications which I should like to share with you. The first is a letter from the Queen Mother, which conveys her felicitous greetings (Fig. 1), and the second is a letter from the president of the Royal College of Physicians of England, Sir Douglas ...

Fulton introduced the essential set of a permutation, together with a rank function. In this paper we study some combinatorial aspects of the essential set: We present an algorithm that retrieves a permutation from its ranked essential set. Thereby we can characterize the class of ranked sets that arise as ranked essential sets of permutations, answering a question of Fulton. Several classes of...

We show that the Fulton-MacPherson compactification of configuration space n distinct labeled points in certain varieties arbitrary dimension d, including projective space, is not a Mori dream for larger than $$d + 8$$ .

The classical Thom–Porteous formula expresses the homology class of the degeneracy locus of a generic map between two vector bundles as an alternating sum of Schur polynomials. A proof of this formula was given by Pragacz by expressing this alternating sum as the Euler characteristic of a Schur complex, which gives an explanation for the signs. Fulton later generalized this formula to the situa...

The Newell-Littlewood numbers are defined in terms of their celebrated cousins, the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. Both arise as tensor product multiplicities for a classical Lie group. They structure coefficients K. Koike-I. Terada basis ring symmetric functions. Recent work H. Hahn studies them, motivated by R. Langlands’ beyond endoscopy</italic...

We give an exposition of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for algebraic varieties. Our proof follows Borel and Serre [3] and Fulton [5] closely, emphasizing geometric considerations and intuition whenever possible.
