  • The Contributions of Stanley to the Fabric of Symmetric and Quasisymmetric Functions
    THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF STANLEY TO THE FABRIC OF SYMMETRIC AND QUASISYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS SARA C. BILLEY AND PETER R. W. MCNAMARA A E S A D I Dedicated to L N T C H R on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Y R Abstract. We weave together a tale of two rings, SYM and QSYM, following one gold thread spun by Richard Stanley. The lesson we learn from this tale is that \Combinatorial objects like to be counted by quasisymmetric functions." 1. Introduction The twentieth century was a remarkable era for the theory of symmetric func- tions. Schur expanded the range of applications far beyond roots of polynomials to the representation theory of GLn and Sn and beyond. Specht, Hall and Mac- donald unified the algebraic theory making it far more accessible. Lesieur recog- nized the connection between Schur functions and the topology of Grassmannian manifolds spurring interest and further developments by Borel, Bott, Bernstein{ Gelfand{Gelfand, Demazure and many others. Now, symmetric functions routinely appear in many aspects of mathematics and theoretical physics, and have significant importance in quantum computation. In that era of mathematical giants, Richard Stanley's contributions to symmet- ric functions are shining examples of how enumerative combinatorics has inspired and influenced some of the best work of the century. In this article, we focus on a few of the gems that continue to grow in importance over time. Specifically, we survey some results and applications for Stanley symmetric functions, chromatic symmetric functions, P -partitions, generalized Robinson{Schensted{Knuth corre- spondence, and flag symmetry of posets.

The period of de facto aapplication ends two years after the date of independence. This Recommendation is at present applicaible in respect of the following States until the dates indicated: Cameroon-1 (1 January 1962) Ivory Coast (7 August 1962) Central African Repoublic (141 August 1962) Madagascar (25 June 1932) Chad (11 August 1932) Mali ( 20 June 1932) Congo (Brazzaville) (15 August 1962) Mauritania (28 November 1962) Congo (Leopoldville (50 June 1932) Niger (3 Augzust 1962) Cyprus (16 Auguust 1932) Senegal (20 June 1962) Dahomey (1 August 1)932) Togo (27 April 1962) Gabon (17 August 1932) Upper Volta (5 August 1962) The Governments of the Rei:ublic of Camersoen (L/1653) and the Republic of' Congo (Lecocidville) (L/1563) have requested an extension of the time-limit, a.s it will not be possible for them to take decisions in this matter within the two-yearperiod. Other States may also wish to have a longer period in which to decide upon their future relations with the GATT. It is therefore suggested, for consideration by the CONTRACTING PARTIES, that the Recomniendation of 18 November 1960 might be extended for one year for any State which requests an extension, In the event that the CONTRACTING PARTIES wish to actupon this suggestion the following text of a decision miht be considered: W.19/19 Page 2 DRAFTDECISION CONSIDERING that the CONTRACTING PARTIES recommended on 18 November 19(0 that contracing parties should continue to apply de factor the Ceneral Agreement in their relations with any territory which acquires full.

    AWIVI ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS PRESIDENT'S REPORT After six pages in the previous issue, I promise to take it easy on the trees this time. Things are busy in the AWM office with resource materials, Schafer prize nominations, travel grants, and the usual chaos. Jill Mesirov and I visited the office February 27th to see Tricia in her home away from home at Waban House, also meeting Tricia's right hand woman Katherine Moore. I came away with an AWM mug (see page 12 to learn how one can be yours as well). We get requests for information about summer programs for mathematics students, especially high school students, such as the PROMYS program described in the last issue. Jill has suggested that we might serve as a clearing house for such programs, perhaps listing them in the newsletter. As a first step, please send me and/or Patricia IN THIS ISSUE Cross any information you have about existing listings on such programs, including their requirements and the contact person if possible. Our guess is that even if such a list is incomplete, it could 4 20th Anniversary Album prove helpful.

"The action has been made necessary following an increase in imports. under such conditions as to cause serious injury to the domestic production of penicillins n Australia and the possibility of increased imports threatening serious damage to streptomycin production. "As delay would cause damage difficult to repair action will be taken as from 3 August 1962. The question of the local industry's normal protective needs is already unde. enquiry by the Australian Tariff Board. The present action is essentially of a holding nature pending the receipt of the Board's full report. Duties on the items concerned are not bound under the GATT. "Followirg evidence of damage to domestic industry, dumping duties were imposed in January 1961 and additional temporary duties in January 1962.

    Military Planning for Berlin Emergency Archival Description Military Planning for Berlin Emergency Reference Code(s): DEF 4-4-04 -> DEF 4-4-04 Title: Military Planning for Berlin Emergency Dates of creation : 1961 – 1987 Level of description : Sub-series Name of creator: EF then DEF Administrative history/Scope and content: Following the Soviet note of 27 November 19581 which challenged the status quo established by the Potsdam Agreement, the Three Western Powers (UK, US and France) decided on 4th April 1959 to set up a Planning Group, named Live Oak, to prepare plans on land and in the air which would guarantee West Berlin’s access and would help assess Soviet’s intentions. On 2nd April 1959 and 21st September 1960 respectively, the French and UK Representatives to the North Atlantic Council presented the Three Powers’ view on the measures to be taken in case of a crisis and on the need for coordination between NATO and Live Oak. The crisis of 13 August 19612 and the erection of the Berlin wall, resulted in an acceleration of NATO’s plans for Berlin Emergency and the adoption of temporary measures to strengthen the Alliance’s military machinery. On 22 September 1961, the Secretary General briefed the Council in private session on his discussions in Washington with the Tripartite Working Group and on 25 October 1961 in a Private Meeting of the Council it was decided that instructions would be given to NATO Commanders for the preparation of military plans to ensure cooperation with the Three Powers Contingency plans and allow for a closer link between LIVE OAK and NATO plans.

  • The Effects of the Cold Winter of 1962/63 on the Helgoland Population of Branchiostoraa Ianceolatum (Pallas)
    The effects of the cold winter of 1962/63 on the Helgoland population of Branchiostoraa Ianceolatum (Pallas) WILLIAMINA A. M. COUt~TNEY and JosEPH E. WEt~B Department of Zoology, Westfield College, University of London, England KURZFASSUNG: Wie Wirkungen des kalten Winters 1962/63 auf die Helgoland-Population yon Branchiostoma lanceolatum (PALLAS). I~ber die H~l~e der Helgoi~inder Branchiostorna lanceolatum-Population starb, als die Wassertemperatur w~ihrend des strengen Winters 1962/63 unter 0° C herabsank. Dies geht aus der Analyse yon F~ingen hervor, welche mit Van Veen und Hensen Dredgen gemacht worden waren. In der jiingsten Altersgruppe der Population stieg die Sterberate auf 100°/0 an. Die Empfindlichkeit yon Individuen verschiedener GrSfe gegeniiber niedriger Temperatur wird diskutiert hinsichtlich ihres Verhaltens sowohl im Laboratorium als auch im Grobsand ihres Habitats. Untersuchungen i~ber das Aktivit~tsmuster von Vertretern der Helgoland- und der Neapel-Populationen in Abh~ingigkeit yon verschie- denen Temperaturen machen wahrscheinlich, daft B. lanceolatum eine mediterrane Art ist, welche sich nordw~irts in den Englischen Kanal und die Nordsee ausgebreitet hat. Die Tiere sind nicht in der Lage, si& bei Temperaturen unter 3° C - wie sic bei Helgoland im Winter normalerweise vorkommen - fortzubewegen. INTRODUCTION Branchiostoma Ianceolatum is found in large numbers in coarse sand deposits at several localities in the German Bight.
