Title: The Algebra and Geometry of Core Partitions
Abstract: Core partitions are used extensively as indexing sets for objects in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and number theory. Cores naturally index certain elements of the affine symmetric group, which is an infinite analog of the group of permutations on a finite set. We can also conveniently realize these group elements via other geometric and combinatorial models such as abacus diagrams, permutahedra in a hyperplane arrangement, and words in a Coxeter group. In this talk, we will explore the relationship among these various algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial perspectives on core partitions, proving some bijections along the way which are difficult to see purely combinatorially. This talk will be completely self-contained; no algebraic, geometric, or combinatorial background will be assumed.
Andrew Brady, ’24, a double major in mathematics and computer science, has been awarded a Goldwater Scholarship. The Goldwater Scholarship is a national award for students who are pursuing STEM disciplines and who are likely to go to graduate school in a STEM discipline.
Jeremy LeCrone, associate professor of mathematics, presented “Envelope Generators and Clearance Irregularities in State Constrained Control Systems” at the 2nd AMS-UMI International Joint Meeting, co-organized by the Unione Matematica Italiana and American Mathematical Society.
