Polynomial Representations of GL_n: with an Appendix on Schensted Correspondence and Littelmann Paths

This second edition of “Polynomial representations of GL (K)” consists of n two parts. The first part is a corrected version of the original text, formatted A in LT X, and retaining the original numbering of sections, equations, etc. E The second is an Appendix, which is largely independent of the first part, but whichleadstoanalgebraL(n,r),definedbyP.Littelmann,whichisanalogous to the Schur algebra S(n,r). It is hoped that, in the future, there will be a structure theory of L(n,r) rather l...
