SHUFFLES, DESCENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS

A CONFERENCE IN MEMORY OF MANFRED SCHOCKER
September 10-14, 2007
Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné
CNRS et Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis

Aims and scopes









An international conference on "Shuffles, descents and representations" will take place in the University of Nice in September 2007 (10-14 Sept.). The conference is dedicated to the memory of Manfred Schocker [1970-2006].
Its aim is to bring together leading experts in the many fields surrounding shuffles and quasi-symmetric functions (algebraic combinatorics, representation theory, discrete probabilities...). We expect to keep the number of talks relatively low, in order for people to be able to discuss and work together during the meeting.

P. Diaconis, F. Patras, A. Ram, Ch. Reutenauer.

The conference takes place inside the ANR program Chaire d'Excellence Persi Diaconis
