Lecture 1 - Kazhdan-Lusztig Polynomials: Representation, Geometry and Combinatorics

Lecture by Professor Geordie Williamson, University of Sydney Mathematical Research Institute, as part of the AMSI-MSRI Winter School 2022.
Hosted over two weeks at the University of Queensland, The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) partnering with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in America (MSRI) delivered 20 lectures in Brisbane and online to students in Hawaii.
The program featured lecturers at the forefront of their fields, and was designed for postgraduate and early-career researchers in the mathematical sciences and cognate disciplines interested in exploring new directions in representation theory.
The 2022 program offered a range of specialist topics with overarching themes including classical group theory, character theory, homological algebra, lie groups and algebraic groups.
