Symmetric Groups, Symmetric Functions, and Grothendieck Polynomials
The main goal of these lectures is to describe some different realizations of the symmetric group (such as Bruhat, Hurwitz, Star, …), as well as specific properties of these realizations (e.g., Hilbert polynomials, certain factorizations of its elements, …).
Next, I suppose to consider in more detail the Bruhat realization (Young tableaux, symmetric functions, Schur polynomials, Cauchy identities, Jacobi–Trudy formulae, RSK, …). At the end of this part, I plan to explain and draw the audience's attention to some realizations of the braid group.
In the second part of these lectures, I will refresh some basic definitions and results concerning flag varieties (of type A) used in this part. Next, I introduce the so-called nil-Coxeter and 0-Hecke algebras and define the Cauchy kernels in these algebras. The Schubert (Grothendieck) polynomials are the polynomials that can be obtained from the decomposition of the corresponding Cauchy kernels by the standard basis in nil-Coxeter, or 0-Hecke algebras.

修课要求
The knowledge of linear algebra (vector spaces, matrices, determinants, …) and basic algebraic structures (groups, algebras, rings, polynomial rings, …). Basic facts about algebraic varieties, (for example, flag varieties) and about cohomologies and K-theory will be used in the second part of the course about Grothendieck polynomials.
