Dear all,
The last CART seminar of this semester is scheduled for June 12th (Fri), at the unusual time 16:30 - 17:30 in Korea time (15:30 - 16:30 in Beijing).
Speaker: Grigori Olshanski (HSE University) Title: Infinite-dimensional groups over finite fields and a related positivity problem in symmetric function theory Abstract: Sergei Kerov and Anatoly Vershik discovered a remarkable family of infinite-dimensional matrix groups over finite fields. These groups are locally compact, totally disconnected and bear some resemblance with reductive p-adic groups. The study of these infinite-dimensional groups and their representations is in the beginning stages. However, there are a number of promising results and a lot of intriguing open problems, some of which admit a reformulation in the language of symmetric functions. I will present an introduction to this area. The talk is based on joint work with Cesar Cuenca.
