Combinatorics Date:  Friday, January 18, 2013 Location:  3866 East Hall (4:10 PM to 5:00 PM) Title:  (Factorial) Schur functions and weighted Grassmannians Abstract:   It is a well-known fact that the so-called Schur functions that form a basis of the algebra of symmetric functions represent the Schubert classes of the cohomology of Grassmannians. After a brief introduction, I will explain how to generalize this fact to the case of weighted Grassmannians.
