This volume, dedicated to the memory of the great American mathematician Bertram Kostant (May 24, 1928 February 2, 2017), is a collection of 19 invited papers by leading mathematicians working in Lie theory, representation theory, algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics. Kostants fundamental work in all of these areas has provided deep new insights and connections, and has created new fields of research.
This volume features the only published articles of important recent results of the contributors with full details of their proofs. Key topics include:
- Poisson structures and potentials (A. Alekseev, A. Berenstein, B. Hoffman)
- Vertex algebras (T. Arakawa, K. Kawasetsu)
- Modular irreducible representations of semisimple Lie algebras (R. Bezrukavnikov, I. Losev)
- Asymptotic Hecke algebras (A. Braverman, D. Kazhdan)
