Combinatorial Straightening Algorithms

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Sonya Berg, UC Davis
Location: 3106 MSB
Start time: Thu, Jan 29 2009, 1:10PM

In this talk I'll discuss the classical straightening theorem and algorithm of Rota, Désarménien, et al. Time permitting, I'll discuss quantum algebra generalizations and relationships to the RSK algorithm.
