Polynomial Representations of GL_n: with an Appendix on Schensted Correspondence and Littelmann Paths (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

The new corrected and expanded edition adds a special appendix on Schensted Correspondence and Littelmann Paths. This appendix can be read independently of the rest of the volume and is an account of the Littelmann path model for the case gln. The appendix also offers complete proofs of classical theorems of Schensted and Knuth.
