Whittaker functions and connections to crystal graphs
Abstract:- Whittaker functions are certain special functions that play a
central role in automorphic representation theory. When dealing with
automorphic forms on covering groups, new methods are needed to compute
these functions. In this talk, I will outline how the study of this
problem has uncovered connections with geometric representation theory
and crystal graphs. I also explain my work in making this connection
practical, allowing for new computations of spherical Whittaker
functions for covering groups. [video]
