Prof. Ole Warnaar (University of Melbourne)

mit dem Thema: ''Beta integrals''

Abstract: The beta integral, due to Euler, is one of the earliest nontrivial
integral evaluations. Little could Euler have known how important his
integral and its various generalisations would be in contemporary 20th and
21st century mathematics. In this talk I will give a gentle overview of the
various modern aspects of beta integrals, ranging from orthogonal
polynomials and finite Coxeter groups to Macdonald polynomial theory. No
preliminary knowledge in any of these fields will be assumed.
