06 Apr '26

Dear colleagues, This is Sin-Myung Lee at KIAS. I hope this email finds you well. Jaeseong and I are very happy to announce the upcoming workshop "Diagrammatics for combinatorics, algebra and topology", which will be held at Sungkyunkwan university (Natural Sciences campus), Suwon, from this July 20(Mon) to 24(Fri). The central theme of the workshop is diagrammatic calculus and its applications in combinatorics, algebra, and topology. In particular, we aim to foster informal exchanges beyond the lectures, creating a space for participants to actively explore these growing fields, from basics to practical applications. Here is the list of invited speakers: Lecture series (3*1h) Ben Elias (University of Oregon) Matthew Hogancamp (Northeastern University) Linhui Shen (Michigan State University) Research talk Elise Catania (University of Minnesota - Twin Cities) Donghyun Kim (Ewha Womans University) Myungho Kim (Kyung Hee University) Hankyung Ko (Uppsala University) Mikhail Mazin (Kensas State University) Nathan Williams (University of Texas at Dallas) More information is (and will be) available on the workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/dcat2026 If you plan on attending, please register by June 5 to stay updated and help us prepare the workshop smoothly. We would appreciate it if you could share this announcement with anyone who might be interested. We are looking forward to your participation! Best regards, Sin-Myung Lee Jaeseong Oh

Dear all, This is a gentle reminder of the CART seminar by Heizo Sakamoto (The University of Tokyo) tomorrow at 10:30 - 11:30 (in Korea time). Hope to see you at the seminar!

Speaker: Heizo Sakamoto (The University of Tokyo) Title: Classification of real and imaginary modules of quantum affine algebras in monoidal categorifications of affine cluster algebras Abstract: A finite-dimensional module $L$ over an affine quantum group is called real if the tensor product $L \otimes L$ is irreducible. It is known that for an appropriately chosen subcategory $\mathcal{C}$ of the category of finite-dimensional representations, the Grothendieck ring $K(\mathcal{C})$ has a cluster algebra structure in which cluster monomials correspond to irreducible modules (categorification of cluster algebras).In such a category $\mathcal{C}$, Hernandez-Leclerc conjectured that an irreducible module corresponds to a cluster monomial if and only if it is a real module. This conjecture remains generally open, except for cases where the categorified cluster algebra is of finite type. In this talk, I will construct subcategories that categorify cluster algebras of affine type and explain that the conjecture holds within these categories.

A classical example is provided by the Rogers--Ramanujan identities: Lepowsky and Wilson, building on earlier work of Lepowsky and Milne, gave a representation-theoretic proof of these identities. In particular, the product side arises from the principal specialisation of the Weyl--Kac character formula for highest weight modules of type A_1^{(1)} at level 3. I will then turn to grounded partitions, combinatorial objects introduced by Dousse and Konan, motivated by the theory of perfect crystals developed by Kang, Kashiwara, Misra, Miwa, Nakashima, and Nakayashiki. While grounded partitions were originally introduced from the crystal-theoretic viewpoint, we instead take the reverse perspective: we use grounded partitions to describe the structure of the affine crystal of type A_1^{(1)} at level 2.

Speaker: Ole Warnaar (The University of Queensland) Title: Hall--Littlewood symmetric functions and the Rogers--Ramanujan identities Abstract: Thanks to the groundbreaking work of Lepowsky, Milne and Primc in the late 1970s and early 1980s it is well understood that the celebrated Rogers--Ramanujan identities are related to the level-$3$ standard modules of the affine Lie algebra $\mathrm{A}_1^{(1)}$. This poses the natural question if Rogers--Ramanujan-type identities exist for arbitrary standard modules of affine Lie algebras. In this talk I will explain how ideas from symmetric function theory may shed some light on this question, which is very open despite recent advances. No prior knowledge of the representation theory of affine Lie algebras will be assumed in this talk.

Speaker: Hong Chen (Rutgers University) Title: Partial orders on partitions and positivity on symmetric functions Abstract: Among partitions, three natural partial orders frequently arise: containment, dominance, and weak dominance. Interpreted on Young diagrams, these correspond respectively to removing boxes, lowering boxes, or allowing both operations. Symmetric functions exhibit two fundamental types of positivity: evaluation positivity and expansion positivity. Work of Cuttler–Greene–Skandera, Sra, and Khare–Tao established a duality between (weak) dominance and evaluation positivity for Schur polynomials. In recent work, we proved an analogous duality between the containment order and expansion positivity for Schur polynomials. Moreover, this result extends to the setting of Jack polynomials, and we further conjectured (and proved several cases of) the natural Jack generalization corresponding to the dominance order. This is joint work with Siddhartha Sahi and Apoorva Khare.

Joint VISGAT/CART seminar (Dr Veronica Kelsey, Manchester)
by Nyberg Brodda CarlFredrik 19 Oct '25

19 Oct '25

Dear visgat & CART subscribers, We are happy to announce that we will be holding a joint visgat/CART seminar on Oct 22nd, 2025 (Wed), 11:00 am - 12:00pm virtually and via Zoom. The seminar will be given by Veronica Kelsey (University of Manchester). The details are below: --- Date: Oct 22nd, 2025 (Wed) Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm Location: KIAS 1424 Zoom hybrid : https://kimsh.kr/vz Title: Irredundant bases of permutation groups Abstract: A base of a group $G \leq \mathrm{Sym}(Omega)$ is a sequence $\Lambda$ of points in $\Omega$ such that the identity is the only element of $G$ fixing $\Lambda$ pointwise. The size of the smallest base is denoted $\mathrm{b}(G, \Omega)$. The study of bases dates back to the 19th century but perhaps their most important use has been in computational group theory. There is a large computational saving when $|\Lambda|<<|\Omega|$, and so we’d ideally like to know $\mathrm{b}(G, \Omega)$. Sadly there is no known efficient algorithm for finding these minimal bases, and Blaha showed in 1992 that determining $\mathrm{b}(G,\Omega) \leq c$ for a given constant $c$ is NP-complete. Instead we consider irredundant bases which can be thought of as the “best worst case”. In this talk I will introduce all these concepts along with examples and discuss some of the recent work in this area. --- After the seminar, we will head for lunch together. We would appreciate your interest! Best wishes, Carl-Fredrik Nyberg-Brodda
