This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute "Symmetric Functions 2001: Surveys of Developments and
Per- spectives", held at the Isaac Newton Institute for
Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, UK, during the two weeks 25
June - 6 July 2001. The objective of the ASI was to survey recent
developments and outline research perspectives in various fields,
for which the fundamental questions can be stated in the language
of symmetric functions (along the way emphasizing interdisciplinary
connections). The instructional goals of the event determined its
format: the ASI consisted of about a dozen mini-courses. Seven of
them served as a basis for the papers comprising the current
volume. The ASI lecturers were: Persi Diaconis, William Fulton,
Mark Haiman, Phil Hanlon, Alexander Klyachko, Bernard Leclerc, Ian
G. Macdonald, Masatoshi Noumi, Andrei Okounkov, Grigori Olshanski,
Eric Opdam, Ana- toly Vershik, and Andrei Zelevinsky. The
organizing committee consisted of Phil Hanlon, Ian Macdonald,
Andrei 0 kounkov, G rigori 0 lshanski (co-director), and myself (
co-director). The original ASI co-director Sergei Kerov, who was
instrumental in determining the format and scope of the event,
selection of speakers, and drafting the initial grant proposal,
died in July 2000. Kerov's mathemat- ical ideas strongly influenced
the field, and were presented at length in a number of ASI
lectures. A special afternoon session on Monday, July 2, was
dedicated to his memory.
