Buildings and combinatorial representation theory

This web page contains material for the workshop Buildings and combinatorial representation theory.

Contributions from the workshop participants are available in dvi, postscript or pdf.

Arun Ram's talk from the first day of the workshop.

Arun Ram has a webpage with relevant information on: Buildings, Chevalley groups, The Flag variety, The affine Flag variety, Affine Hecke algebras, Loop groups, Central Extensions, GL(n). You may have to download some MathML fonts, but there are instructions on his page.

A glossary of terms is being prepared. Please contribute!
