Subject: Workshop on Applications of Macdonald Polynomials
A workshop "Applications of Macdonald Polynomials" will be held at the
Banff International Research Station, Alberta, Canada during 9-14
September 2007. The Organizers are Francois Bergeron (Université du
Quebec a Montréal), Jim Haglund (University of Pennsylvania) and Jeff
Remmel (Univ. of California at San Diego).
>From the Workshop web site:
The study of Macdonald polynomials is one of the most active current
areas of research in Algebraic Combinatorics. It exhibits natural ties
with many area of mathematics: Algebraic Geometry, Representation
Theory, Special Function Theory, etc., and raises new exciting questions
in all of these subjects. The techniques involved in this study are also
wide ranging, going from the uses of Double Affine Hecke Algebras to the
study of Hilbert Schemes, passing through the study of deep
combinatorial statistics on tableaux. For example, in the mid 90's
Cherednik showed that nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials are intimately
tied up with the representation theory of Double Affine Hecke Algebras,
and resolved the ``Macdonald constant term-conjectures" for arbitrary
root systems. These conjectures were a focal point of research in
Algebraic Combinatorics throughout the 1980's. Another example is the
work of Haiman, who showed that there are deep connections between
algebraic geometry, the representation theory of the space of diagonal
harmonics, and the the theory of Macdonald polynomials. He was awarded
the 2004 Moore AMS prize for this work. Haiman subsequently extended his
methods to prove a long-standing conjecture for the character of
diagonal harmonics as an analytic expression involving a sum of rational
functions in two parameters q,t. A related result was obtained by Iain
Gordon, who using Cherednik's approach proved an analogue of Haiman's
result on the dimension of diagonal harmonics for other root systems. In
addition Lapointe and Morse have introduced a generalization of Schur
functions called k-Schur functions which have many unexpected
connections to geometry and Macdonald polynomial theory.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the French mathematician Paul
Painleve and his students classified second order nonlinear ordinary
differential equations with the property that the location of possible
branch points and essential singularities of their solutions does not
depend on initial conditions. It turned out that there are only six such
equations (up to natural equivalence), which later became known as
Painleve I-VI.
Although these equations were initially obtained answering a strictly
mathematical question, they appeared later in an astonishing (and
growing) range of applications, including, e.g., statistical physics,
fluid mechanics, random matrices, and orthogonal polynomials. Actually,
it is now becoming clear that the Painleve transcendents (i.e., the
solutions of the Painleve equations) play the same role in nonlinear
mathematical physics that the classical special functions, such as Airy
and Bessel functions, play in linear physics.
The explicit formulas relating the asymptotic behaviour of the classical
special functions at different critical points, play a crucial role in
the applications of these functions. It is shown in this book, that even
though the six Painleve equations are nonlinear, it is still possible,
using a new technique called the Riemann-Hilbert formalism, to obtain
analogous explicit formulas for the Painleve transcendents. This
striking fact, apparently unknown to Painleve and his contemporaries, is
the key ingredient for the remarkable applicability of these "nonlinear
special functions".
The book describes in detail the Riemann-Hilbert method and emphasizes
its close connection to classical monodromy theory of linear equations
as well as to modern theory of integrable systems. In addition, the book
contains an ample collection of material concerning the asymptotics of
the Painleve functions and their various applications, which makes it a
good reference source for everyone working in the theory and
applications of Painleve equations and related areas.
Readership: Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in
special functions, in particular, Painleve transcendents.

Topic #3 ---------- OP-SF NET 13.5 ---------- September 15, 2006

From: OP-SF NET Editors
Subject: New book on Number Theory in the Spirit of Ramanujan
Bruce C. Berndt
Number Theory in the Spirit of Ramanujan
Student Mathematical Library, Vol 34
American Mathematical Society, 2006, 187 pp.
ISBN: 0-8218-4178-5; List US$35 (AMS Member US$28)
>From the web site
http://www.ams.org/bookstore
Ramanujan is recognized as one of the great number theorists of the
twentieth century. Here now is the first book to provide an introduction
to his work in number theory. Most of Ramanujan's work in number theory
arose out of $q$-series and theta functions. This book provides an
introduction to these two important subjects and to some of the topics
in number theory that are inextricably intertwined with them, including
the theory of partitions, sums of squares and triangular numbers, and
the Ramanujan tau function. The majority of the results discussed here
are originally due to Ramanujan or were rediscovered by him. Ramanujan
did not leave us proofs of the thousands of theorems he recorded in his
notebooks, and so it cannot be claimed that many of the proofs given in
this book are those found by Ramanujan. However, they are all in the
spirit of his mathematics.
The subjects examined in this book have a rich history dating back to
Euler and Jacobi, and they continue to be focal points of contemporary
mathematical research. Therefore, at the end of each of the seven
chapters, Berndt discusses the results established in the chapter and
places them in both historical and contemporary contexts. The book is
suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students
interested in number theory.

First of all, the last q above must be q^{1/2}. Furthermore, Hjalmar
Rosengren communicated to me that W. Nahm's conjectured formula already
occurs with proof as formula (8) in the paper
S. Warnaar & P.A. Pearce, Exceptional structure of the dilute $A_3$
model: $E_8$ and $E_7$ Rogers-Ramanujan identities, J. Phys. A 27
(1994), L891-L897.
In order to match the Warnaar-Pearce formula with Nahm's formula, it
still has to be shown that
(q;q)_\infty \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{q^{2n^2}}{(q;q)_{2n} =
\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (q^{12 n^2+n} - q^{12 n^2+7n+1}),
which might have been a relatively easy exercise in the book by
Gasper & Rahman.

Subject: About the Activity Group
The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions
consists of a broad set of mathematicians, both pure and applied. The
Group also includes engineers and scientists, students as well as
experts. We have around 140 members scattered about in more than 20
countries. Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your
participation in this classical, and yet modern, topic. Our WWW home

This is a convenient point of entry to all the services provided by the
Group. Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders (bonita.saunders@nist.gov).
The Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted periodically
