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.
