Deformations: from analysis to algera and back

Regular Seminar Raphael Rouquier (Oxford University)

at:
15:00 City U.
room C343
abstract:

We will introduce deformations of partial derivatives (Dunkl operators) and discuss their actions on polynomial functions. This leads to various flavours of Hecke algebras and relates to the geometry of families of points in the plane. Eventually, this can be studied through microlocal analysis.
