Affine Flag Manifolds and Principal Bundles

Affine flag manifolds are infinite dimensional versions of familiar objects such as Graßmann varieties. The book features lecture notes, survey articles, and research notes - based on workshops held in Berlin, Essen, and Madrid - explaining the significance of these and related objects (such as double affine Hecke algebras and affine Springer fibers) in representation theory (e. g. , the theory of symmetric polynomials), arithmetic geometry (e. g. , the fundamental lemma in the Langlands program), and algebraic geometry (e. g. , affine flag manifolds as parameter spaces for principal bundles). Novel aspects of the theory of principal bundles on algebraic varieties are also studied in the book.
