Topic #1 ------------ OP-SF NET 7.5 ------------- September 15, 2000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Daniel Lozier <dlozier@nist.gov>
Subject: Letter from the Chair
In this letter to the OPSF membership I want to report on some recent
developments at SIAM that affect all the SIAGs (SIAM Activity Groups) and
ours in particular. Then I will give a brief report on the SIAM Annual
Meeting, which was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Finally I will raise
some issues faced by our Activity Group and ask for ideas for addressing
them.
To begin, this was the year for our charter to be considered for renewal
by the SIAM Council and the SIAM Board of Trustees. Activity group
charter renewal is required every three years. I submitted the
application, which was considered and approved at the Annual Meeting.
Thus we are in business until the end of 2004. Officers who will lead our
group starting on January 1, 2002, will be elected by the membership next
year. It is not too soon to begin thinking about candidates, and to think
about being a candidate yourself.
Jim Crowley, Executive Director of SIAM, sent an email to all SIAG
officers reporting two actions taken by SIAM at the Annual Meeting that
affect the SIAGS. The first action is a request that all SIAGs organize
at least two minisymposia at each Annual Meeting. This reaffirms previous
requests and reflects the importance SIAM places on the activities of the
SIAGs. There is a desire, in Jim's words, "to see the SIAGs participate
fully as part of SIAM and not become entirely separate entities." The
second action is new. It requests a meeting of the chairs of all the
SIAGs at each Annual Meeting to discuss issues facing the SIAGs and to
seek ways of vitalizing each SIAG. Jim will conduct the first SIAG Chairs
Meeting at the 2001 SIAM Annual Meeting in San Diego. I expect to attend
and represent our membership at this meeting.
Jim's email covered other issues of interest to SIAG officers and
potential officers. New or revised documents for SIAG officers are being
prepared, including SIAG Rules of Procedure, SIAG Guidelines, Guidelines
for Organizing a SIAG Conference, and the charter renewal template.
Finally Jim's email commented that every SIAG should maintain a set of Web
pages. Any member who is interested in more information about these
topics should contact me.
Our group had a minisymposium at the San Juan meeting but, unfortunately,
it was not well attended. Of course there were many competing parallel
sessions. But one of our four talks was cancelled due to a last-minute
problem that prevented the speaker from traveling to San Juan, and another
attracted no audience at all! One reason for the poor attendance might be
that our talks didn't adhere to a coherent theme. It didn't help that
among the plenary talks only one, the Polya Prize Lecture on Polynomials
in Discrete Mathematics, had anything to do with our subject. Finally,
the 3rd European Congress of Mathematics took place in Barcelona the same
week as the SIAM Annual Meeting. Though it was a general mathematics
meeting, a satellite Summer School on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special
Functions was held shortly afterward. This summer school was an official
activity of our group, organized by our program director, Paco Marcellan,
and one of our newsletter editors, Renato Alvarez-Nodarse. I believe the
European meeting and summer school drew heavily from the attendance we
would have expected in San Juan.
This leads me to the major issue I see facing our group. We are part of
SIAM, and SIAM rightly expects us to participate in SIAM meetings, to
organize parts of these meetings, and even to consider mounting our own
SIAG conference. In my view our group has met these expectations quite
well, except for conducting our own conference, which we have never done.
There are two general problems that prevent us from having a stronger
relationship with SIAM. First, SIAM's commitment to special functions is
not as strong as it should be. One indication of this is the lack of
plenary speakers who work in special functions or who use them in other
areas. I discussed this problem with several people in San Juan, and came
away with the feeling that we could do more to influence the program of
future SIAM meetings by communicating directly with the program
committees. Another problem is the drift away from classical analysis on
the editorial board of the SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis. This
was addressed in the "Statement by the Officers of SIAM SIAG-OPSF on the
Scope of SIMA" in Topic #7, OPSF-NET 7.3, May 15, 2000, and in the printed
OPSF Newsletter, vol. 10, no. 3, June 2000, p. 22. I am not aware of any
progress on this problem. Second, there are many meetings that focus
sharply on special functions. Are there too many? I invite the
membership to think about our relationship with SIAM and how it could be
strengthened. Our email list service, OPSF-Talk, is ideal for this
purpose. It distributes email sent to opsftalk@nist.gov to the subscriber
list, and it keeps an archive of the email. See
http://math.nist.gov/opsf/opsftalk.html
for further information about this service. Of course I will also be
happy to receive comments by email, telephone or letter.
Topic #2 ------------ OP-SF NET 7.5 ------------- September 15, 2000

From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Program on Symmetric functions and Macdonald polynomials
[From the website: http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programs/sfm.html]
The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK will
host a program "Symmetric functions and Macdonald polynomials" during
January-June 2001. The organisers are P. Hanlon (Michigan), I.G. Macdonald
(London) and A.O. Morris (Aberystwyth).
Programme Theme:
The importance of symmetric functions and the representation theory of Hecke
algebras and the symmetric groups derives in part from their applicability in a
wide range of scientific and mathematical disciplines. Within the theory of
symmetric functions, this programme will focus on a particular topic, the
Macdonald polynomials, which have especially wide-ranging mathematical
interconnections. The goal of the program will be to unify the diverse
approaches to the study of these polynomials.
In the 1980's, I. G. Macdonald formulated a series of conjectures which
predicted the constant terms of expressions that involve an important new class
of symmetric functions called the Macdonald polynomials. Since their
introduction, these conjectures and polynomials have been a central topic of
study in Algebraic Combinatorics. Of particular note has been the variety of
approaches used in efforts to solve the conjectures or to find an algebraic or
geometric interpretation for the Macdonald polynomials themselves. Different
approaches involve double affine Hecke algebras, homology of nilpotent Lie
algebras, generalized traces of Lie algebra representations and diagonal actions
of the symmetric group on polynomial rings in two sets of variables. In this
programme we will attempt to unify these different approaches to the Macdonald
Conjectures in a way that allows for a significant interpretation of the
Macdonald polynomials and settles some of the outstanding conjectures that have
resulted from this work.
Links with other areas such as algebraic geometry, Lie algebras,
non-commutative algebra, mathematical physics and mathematical statistics
will be emphasised. Workshops will be arranged in order to foster existing
and potential applications in these and other subjects.
Workshops:
- 8-12 January 2001: Conjectures, Recent Results and Open Problems Related to
the Macdonald Polynomials
- 17-20 April 2001: Applications of the Macdonald Polynomials
- 25 June - 6 July 2001: The Macdonald Polynomials

From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: New book on Special Functions
The following information is from the web site:
http://www.oup-usa.org/isbn/0198505736.html
Special Functions - A Unified Theory Based on Singularities
Wolfgang Lay (Stuttgart) and Sergei Yuryevitsh Slavyanov (St. Petersburg)
Oxford University Press,
320 pp.; 50 line illus; 0-19-850573-6, November 2000
The subject of this book is the theory of special functions, not
considered as a list of functions exhibiting a certain range of
properties, but based on the unified study of singularities of
second-order ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. The
number and characteristics of the singularities serve as a basis for
classification of each individual special function. Links between linear
special functions (as solutions of linear second-order equations), and
non-linear special functions (as solutions of Painleve equations) are
presented as a basic and new result. Many applications to different areas
of physics are shown and discussed. The book is written from a practical
point of view and will address all those scientists whose work involves
applications of mathematical methods. Lecturers, graduate students and
researchers will find this a useful text and reference work.

From: Daniel Lozier <dlozier@nist.gov>
Subject: Postdoctoral Research Opportunity at NIST
This research opportunity focuses on improving numerical and symbolic
computing support for the classical special functions in parallel and
other advanced computational settings through the development of
algorithms and mathematical software.
Emphasis in algorithm development is placed on functions of one or more
complex variables. For example, a recurrence relation or differential
equation can sometimes be solved in parallel to form a stable and
effective algorithm in the complex domain. This approach has been applied
successfully to Airy, Bessel, and other functions. The emphasis in
software development is placed on the construction of robust and highly
reliable packages and test procedures. An important component is the use
of the Internet to provide an interactive capability in the dissemination
of mathematical reference data for special functions. The further
development of these topics will require skills in real and complex
analysis, numerical analysis, classical special functions, approximation
theory, and advanced computing. For further information, contact:

From: Erik Koelink <koelink@twi.tudelft.nl>
Subject: Job opening for graduate student
4-year graduate student position "Special Functions and Dynamical Quantum
Groups"
This concerns a NWO (Netherlands Organization for Scientific
Research)-funded project to be carried out at the Technische Universiteit
Delft, the Netherlands. The research group consists of Erik Koelink
(Delft, the Netherlands), Hjalmar Rosengren (Gothenburg, Sweden), Ole
Warnaar (Melbourne, Australia), and as external advisors Tom Koornwinder
(Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and Don Zagier (Utrecht, the Netherlands).
A short description of the research proposal is the following:
The purpose of this proposal is to investigate the relationship between
the representation theory of dynamical quantum groups and the theory of
special functions. Dynamical quantum groups are related to solutions of
the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and we focus our attention to the
so-called trigonometric and elliptic solutions. We will study
representations and co-representations and we intend to establish a
fruitful link with classes of special functions, leading to new insights
on both sides. In the trigonometric case we expect special functions of
basic hypergeometric type, and in the elliptic case we expect special
functions of elliptic hypergeometric type.
Candidates should have a degree in mathematics or physics, or obtain one in the
near future. Please send an application (CV, list of publications if any, and
names of referents) to
