Comprehending monads

TL;DR: It is shown how list comprehensions may be generalised to an arbitrary monad, and how the resulting programming feature can concisely express in a pure functional language some programs that manipulate state, handle exceptions, parse text, or invoke continuations.

Quantum affine algebras and holonomic difference equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived new holonomicq-difference equations for the matrix coefficients of the products of intertwining operators for quantum affine algebra representations of levelk.

The McKay correspondence as an equivalence of derived categories

TL;DR: Gonzalez-Sprinberg and Verdier as discussed by the authors interpreted the McKay correspondence as an isomorphism on K theory, observing that the representation of G is equal to the G-equivariant K theory of C2.

Une théorie combinatoire des séries formelles

TL;DR: In this article, a combinatorial interpretation of formal power series is presented, based on the concept of species of structures, and a categorical approach is used to formulate it.
