Generally speaking, this thesis focuses on the interplay between the representations of Lie groups and probability theory. It subdivides into essentially three parts. In a first rather algebraic part, we construct a path model for geometric…
A Littelmann path model is constructed for crystals pertaining to a not necessarily symmetrizable Borcherds-Cartan matrix. Here one must overcome several combinatorial problems coming from the imaginary simple roots. The main results are an…
The Robinson-Schensted (RS) correspondence and its variants naturally give rise to integrable dynamics of non-intersecting particle systems. In previous work, the author exhibited a RS correspondence for geometric crystals by constructing a…
We introduce a notion of continuous crystal analogous, for general Coxeter groups, to the combinatorial crystals introduced by Kashiwara in representation theory of Lie algebras. We use a generalization of the Littelmann path model to show…
Berenstein and Kazhdan's theory of geometric crystals gives rise to two commuting families of geometric crystal operators acting on the space of complex $m \times n$ matrices. These are birational actions, which we view as a…
We construct a subcrystal of the Littelmann's path crystal whose formal character coincides with that of a certain simple integrable module of level zero over the untwisted affine Lie algebra associated to sl_n. We also establish an…
In this paper, we continue the development of a new combinatorial model for the irreducible characters of a complex semisimple Lie group. This model, which will be referred to as the alcove path model, can be viewed as a discrete…
For the Kashiwara crystal of a highest weight representation of an affine Lie algebra of type A and rank e, with highest weight $\Lambda$, there is a labeling by multipartitions and by piecewise linear paths in the real weight space called…
In their study of the equivariant K-theory of the generalized flag varieties $G/P$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group, and $P$ is a parabolic subgroup of $G$, Lenart and Postnikov introduced a combinatorial tool, called the alcove…
We present a simple combinatorial model for the characters of the irreducible integrable highest weight modules for complex symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. This model can be viewed as a discrete counterpart to the Littelmann path model.…
We show the natural embedding of weight lattices from a diagram folding is a virtualization map for the Littelmann path model, which recovers a result of Kashiwara. As an application, we give a type independent proof that certain…
The notion of a geometric crystal was introduced by A.Berenstein and D.Kazhdan, motivated by the needs of representation theory of p-adic groups. It was shown by A.Braverman, A.Berenstein, and D.Kazhdan that some particular geometric…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\CC$ and let $G^{\vee}$ be the Langlands dual group. Crystals for $G^{\vee}$ were introduced by Kashiwara as certain ``combinatorial skeletons'' of finite-dimensional representations of…
This mostly expository article explores recent developments in the relations between the three objects in the title from an algebro-combinatorial perspective. We prove a formula for Whittaker functions of a real semisimple group as an…
We formalize Feynman's construction of the quantum mechanical path integral. To do this, we shift the emphasis in differential geometry from the tangent bundle onto the pair groupoid. This allows us to use the van Est map and the piecewise…
We give a new model for the crystal graphs of an affine Lie algebra g^, combining Littelmann's path model with the Kyoto path model. The vertices of the crystal graph are represented by certain infinitely looping paths which we call skeins.…
We show that the emerging field of discrete differential geometry can be usefully brought to bear on crystallization problems. In particular, we give a simplified proof of the Heitmann-Radin crystallization theorem (R. C. Heitmann, C.…
We study some path transformations related to Littelmann path model and their applications to representation theory and Brownian motion in a Weyl chamber.
We present some results about connections between Littelmann paths and Brownian paths in the framework of affine Lie algebras. We expect that they will be the first steps on a way which could hopefully lead to a Pitman type theorem for a…
We investigate the PT-symmetry of the quantum group invariant XXZ chain. We show that the PT-operator commutes with the quantum group action and also discuss the transformation properties of the Bethe wavefunction. We exploit the fact that…
