Informal seminar on combinatorics and representation theory

This is an informal seminar on combinatorics and representation theory.
In Winter 2021 discussed the combinatorics of q,t-Catalan numbers and Shuffle conjecture,
as well as their geometric counterparts: affine Springer fibers and positroid varieties.
In Spring 2021 we will discuss combinatorics related to affine Schubert calculus.
Organizers: Erik Carlsson , Eugene Gorsky, Anne Schilling, Monica Vazirani .
The seminar meets on Mondays at 11am.
Notes from past quarters: Fall 2020 .
