Hall-Littlewood polynomials and a Hecke action on ordered set partitions

We construct an action of the Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$ on a quotient of the polynomial ring $F[x_1, \dots, x_n]$, where $F = \mathbb{Q}(q)$. The dimension of our quotient ring is the number of $k$-block ordered set partitions of $\{1, 2, \dots, n \}$. This gives a quantum analog of a construction of Haglund-Rhoades-Shimozono and interpolates between their result at $q = 1$ and work of Huang-Rhoades at $q = 0$.Comment: 11 page

Rediscovering Local Environmentalism in Taiwan

In his article Rediscovering Local Environmentalism in Taiwan Peter I-min Huang challenges the domination of the global and the marginalization of the local. Huang argues that by the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century globalism seemed to have toppled localism in ecocriticism debates. Ecocritics embraced enthusiastically such concepts as Ursula K. Heise\u27s eco-cosmopolitanism and the arguments associated with it that spoke for global forms of environmental thinking and practice. Yet, arguments for the local persist in part because of Heise\u27s constructive criticisms of it. Focusing on local environmental movements in Taiwan, Huang identifies and discusses scholarly work showing that the local is a durable concept and practice and not likely to disappear despite the denunciation of it. Moreover, referring to other recent studies, Huang argues that the global environmental imagination is indebted to local environmental movements
