Generalized Kostka Polynomials
July 18 to July 22, 2005
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Anne Schilling and Monica Vazirani

Workshop topics:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, concerns Kostka
polynomials and their connections to various areas of mathematics.
Kostka polynomials and their generalizations have arisen in 
numerous ways such as in the context of symmetric functions,
combinatorics, representation theory, quantum groups and
crystal bases, statistical mechanics, algebraic geometry, and
Kazhdan-Lusztig theory. The goal of this workshop is to bring
together mathematicians who have studied Kostka polynomials
from different points of views, state the various connections
and open conjectures, and work towards their proofs. 

Application deadline:
March 31, 2005
