The seminar has been running since 1997. The topics of talks have typically been any mixture of algebra with any other field: combinatorics, geometry, topology, physics, etc. Further down this page you will find links to the seminar webpages for previous years. The audience usually consists of 6–12 people, including several graduate students and post-docs. For this reason, speakers are encouraged to devote a portion of their talk to the suggestion of open problems and the directions for research in their area. If you are interested in speaking at the seminar, contact Nantel Bergeron.

Dates are listed in reverse-chronological order. Unless otherwise indicated, all talks will take place at 3:00pm in N638 Ross Building (York University).

8 Feb. 2010	Chris Berg	Crystal models of the basic representation of the affine special linear Lie algebra Misra and Miwa gave a realization of the crystal of the basic representation in which the nodes of the graph are indexed by "$p$-regular" partitions. These "$p$-regular" partitions also index irreducible representations of the symmetric group over a field of characteristic $p$. After reviewing this, I will talk about some other partition based models for this crystal and their connections to the modular representation theory of the symmetric group.
