Readings in Algebraic Combinatorics

Spring, 2008

Schedule

Next Meeting: Friday, April 18
Steve continues honing his orals talk, Tom presents the Ram/Yip paper posted below, on an alcove walk model for building the Macdonald polynomial.

April 11: Presentation by Michelle Snider, student of Allen Knutson at San Diego will give a half-hour presentation of her work, and Steve will give a preview of his oral talk.
