Description:

One of the classical areas of algebra, the theory of symmetric functions and orthogonal polynomials has been known to be connected to combinatorics, representation theory and other branches of mathematics. This work explains some of the developments regarding these connections. It is based on lectures presented by the author at Rutgers University.

Synopsis:

One of the most classical areas of algebra, the theory of symmetric functions and orthogonal polynomials has long been known to be connected to combinatorics, representation theory, and other branches of mathematics. Written by perhaps the most famous author on the topic, this volume explains some of the current developments regarding these connections. It is based on lectures presented by the author at Rutgers University. Specifically, he gives recent results on orthogonal polynomials associated with affine Hecke algebras, surveying the proofs of certain famous combinatorial conjectures.
