Contains new results on different aspects of Lie theory, including Lie superalgebras, quantum groups, crystal bases, representations of reductive groups in finite characteristic, and the geometric Langlands program

Dedicated to A. Joseph on his Sixtieth Birthday

Studies in Lie Theory

Maria Gorelik

This volume, a celebration of Anthony Joseph’s fundamental influence on classical and quantized representation theory, explores a wide array of current topics in Lie theory by experts in the area. The chapters are based on the 2017 sister conferences titled “Algebraic Modes of Representations,” the first of which was held from July 16-18 at the Weizmann Institute of Science and the second from July 19-23 at the University of Haifa. The chapters in this volume cover a range of topics, including: Primitive ideals Invariant theory Geometry of Lie group actions Quantum affine algebras Yangians Categorification Vertex algebras This volume is addressed to mathematicians who specialize in representation theory and Lie theory, and who wish to learn more about this fascinating subject.

In Honour of the 75th Birthday of Tony Joseph

Representations and Nilpotent Orbits of Lie Algebraic Systems

Anthony Joseph

Rudolf Rentschler

This volume Studies in Memory of Issai Schur was conceived as a tribute to Schur's of his tragic end. His impact on great contributions to mathematics and in remembrance of mathematicians Representation Theory alone was so great that a significant number of Researchers (TMR) Network, in the European Community Training and Mobility Orbits, Crystals and Representation Theory, in operation during the period (1997-2002) have been occupied with what has been called Schur theory. Consequently, this volume has the additional purpose of recording some of the significant results of the network. It was furthermore appropriate that invited contributors should be amongst the speakers at the Paris Midterm Workshop of the network held at Chevaleret during 21-25 May, 2000 as well as those of the Schur Memoriam Workshop held at the Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, during 27-31 December 2000. The latter marked the sixtieth anniversary of Schur's passing and took place in the 125th year of his birth.

Studies in Memory of Issai Schur

Ivan Penkov

This volume consists of expository and research articles that highlight the various Lie algebraic methods used in mathematical research today. Key topics discussed include spherical varieties, Littelmann Paths and Kac–Moody Lie algebras, modular representations, primitive ideals, representation theory of Artin algebras and quivers, Kac–Moody superalgebras, categories of Harish–Chandra modules, cohomological methods, and cluster algebras.

Highlights in Lie Algebraic Methods

The representation theory of the symmetric group, of Chevalley groups particularly in positive characteristic and of Lie algebraic systems, has undergone some remarkable developments in recent years. Many techniques are inspired by the great works of Issai Schur who passed away some 60 years ago. This volume is dedicated to his memory. This is a unified presentation consisting of an extended biography of Schur---written in collaboration with some of his former students---as well as survey articles on Schur's legacy (Schur theory, functions, etc). Additionally, there are articles covering the areas of orbits, crystals and representation theory, with special emphasis on canonical bases and their crystal limits, and on the geometric approach linking orbits to representations and Hecke algebra techniques. Extensions of representation theory to mathematical physics and geometry will also be presented. Contributors: Biography: W. Ledermann, B. Neumann, P.M. Neumann, H. Abelin- Schur; Review of work: H. Dym, V. Katznelson; Original papers: H. H. Andersen, A. Braverman, S. Donkin, V. Ivanov, D. Kazhdan, B. Kostant, A. Lascoux, N. Lauritzen, B. Leclerc, P. Littelmann, G. Luzstig, O. Mathieu, M. Nazarov, M. Reinek, J.-Y. Thibon, G. Olshanski, E. Opdam, A. Regev, C.S. Seshadri, M. Varagnolo, E. Vasserot, A. Vershik This volume will serve as a comprehensive reference as well as a good text for graduate seminars in representation theory, algebra, and mathematical physics.
