Physics and combinatorics 1999: procceedings [i.e. proceedings] of the Nagoya 1999 International Workshop, Graduate School of Mathematics, Nagoya University

This volume contains research and review papers on different branches of mathematics and mathematical physics, written by the leading scientists. Among the contributed papers are articles on: multiple basic hypergeometric functions with applications to the number theory; birational representations of affine Weyl groups with applications to discrete integrable systems; algebraic geometry and Painleve VI; and combinatorics of Kostka-Foulkes polynomials.
