Seminars for the week of October 26, 2009
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:30, in VinH 16Professor Bill Casselman
of University of British Columbia
will speak on
"Patterns in Coxeter Groups"
Coxeter groups are uniquitons in mathematics, playing many apparently distinct roles -- for example, as the symmetry groups of regular geometric objects and also the Weyl groups of semi-simple Lie algebras, including the infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody algebras. The infinite ones possess structures that are at once interesting and apparently regular in some sense, such as Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. But in what terms can one hope to describe these structures? This is a relatively simple case of the general question, how to describe infinite structures in finite terms.
