Abstract:
To make full use of the techniques explained in Lecture 2, one needs a supply of K-theory classes satisfying nearly conflicting bounds on their supports and weights at fixed points. Such classes, called stable envelopes, play an important role in geometric representation theory where they give a geometric constructions of tensor products and braidings. The emphasis in this lecture will be on combinatorial aspects of stable envelopes.
