This volume contains the proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians Satellite Conference on Algebraic and Combinatorial Approaches to Representation Theory, held August 12-16, 2010, at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore, India, and the follow-up conference held May 18-20, 2012, at the University of California, Riverside, CA. It contains original research and survey articles on various topics in the theory of representations of Lie algebras, quantum groups and algebraic groups, including crystal bases, categorification, toroidal algebras and their generalizations, vertex algebras, Hecke algebras, Kazhdan-Lusztig bases, $q$-Schur algebras, and Weyl algebras.

Recent Developments in Algebraic and Combinatorial Aspects of Representation Theory

Andrew N. Pressley

Since they first arose in the 1970s and early 1980s, quantum groups have proved to be of great interest to mathematicians and theoretical physicists. The theory of quantum groups is now well established as a fascinating chapter of representation theory, and has thrown new light on many different topics, notably low-dimensional topology and conformal field theory. The goal of this book is to give a comprehensive view of quantum groups and their applications. The authors build on a self-contained account of the foundations of the subject and go on to treat the more advanced aspects concisely and with detailed references to the literature. Thus this book can serve both as an introduction for the newcomer, and as a guide for the more experienced reader. All who have an interest in the subject will welcome this unique treatment of quantum groups.
