Loop symmetric functions and factorizing matrix polynomials

Abstract

These are notes for my talk at ICCM 2010, Beijing. We survey some results, obtained jointly with Pavlo Pylyavskyy, concerning the ring of loop symmetric functions. Motivations from networks on surfaces, total positivity, crystal graphs, and discrete integrable systems are discussed.
