My research interests are mostly in algebraic combinatorics.
Lately I have been
studying (a) the representation theory of the symmetric group by understanding the characters as symmetric functions (b) Symmetric function problems like plethysm and the restriction problem (how a $Gl_n$ irreducible decomposes as an $S_n$ irreducible) (c) representations of partition algebras and a new multiset partition algebra (d) $q,t$-combinatorics, symmetric functions and the corresponding representation theory |
