> Dear ICTP Community,
>
> We are pleased to inform you that the ICTP Associates Office and the 
> ICTP Global Science Portal are launching the "Associates Seminar 
> Series" this coming May 21. These will be colloquium-style talks given 
> by our Associates, aimed to the broad ICTP community.
>
> These talks will be slightly different than usual, having a personal 
> part and a scientific part. The speaker will talk a bit on his/her 
> personal trajectory first, and then later gently introduce a research 
> theme of his/her choice. The ICTP community will have the chance to 
> get to know a bit more our Associates, both personally and 
> professionally.
>
> This is a particularly interesting opportunity for our students 
> (Diploma and Ph.D.), and post-docs. The talks will be streamed online 
> via the ICTP Global Portal. More details will follow over the next days.
>
> Our first speaker will be Prof. Apoorva Khare (MATH, from India) on 
> *May 21 at 11am in the Stasi Seminar Room.*
>
> I am looking forward to seeing many of you there (and online).
>
> With kind regards,

> *Title:* The history of majorization inequalities: from Newton to 
> Macdonald
>
> *Abstract: *I will gently introduce inequalities connecting symmetric 
> polynomials and majorization. These have been studied by Maclaurin and 
> Newton (1700s), Schlomilch (1800s), Gantmacher, Muirhead, Schur 
> (1900s), and in ancient Greece. I will then mention (perhaps the 
> first) weak majorization result, shown in joint work with Tao (2021). 
> This involves Schur polynomials, and parallels results by 
> Cuttler–Greene–Skandera and Sra (2010s). Time permitting, I will 
> explain recent work with Chen and Sahi, where we subsume several of 
> these inequalities by a "master" majorization inequality: using Jack 
> or Macdonald polynomials. This is conjectural, and we prove it for 2 
> variables.
