K-Schur Functions and Affine Schubert Calculus

by Thomas Lam, Anne Schilling, Mike Zabrocki, et al.

Book Overview

This book gives an introduction to the very active field of combinatorics of affine Schubert calculus, explains the current state of the art, and states the current open problems. Affine Schubert calculus lies at the crossroads of combinatorics, geometry, and representation theory. Its modern development is motivated by two seemingly unrelated directions. One is the introduction of k-Schur functions in the study of Macdonald polynomial positivity,...
