Description
This term we focus on "Inspiration from Physics to Mathematics." The speaker's abstract:
Crystal
bases originated in statistical mechanics as combinatorial
skeletons of quantum group representations. We discuss how
crystal bases have recently led to new discoveries in various
areas in mathematics from combinatorics, representation theory,
and geometry and back to physics!
