+#+title: Yuchen Pei
+
+Hello! I am Yuchen. You have reached my personal website.
+
+I am a programmer, mathematician and free software advocate.
+
+I did a PhD at the [[https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/masdoc][MASDOC program at Warwick]], and spent two years in a postdoc position at [[http://cmsa.fas.harvard.edu][CMSA at Harvard]] and another one and a half years at the [[https://www.math.kth.se/RMSMA/][KTH RMSMA group]]. After that I worked as a full stack web developer for two years.
+
+I am an associate member and licensing volunteer of the [[https://fsf.org][Free Software Foundation]], and have applied the philosophy of free software to knowledge and research. For example I shared my research in Robinson-Schensted algorithms as a [[https://toywiki.xyz][wiki]] under a free Creative Commons license. I believe anyone can be an academic, seeking truth and sharing their findings with the public.
+
+I can be reached at: hi@[the domain of this site] (PGP key: 47F9 D050 1E11 8879 9040 4941 2126 7E93 EF86 DFD0). Feel free to email me, whether you know me or not.

+#+title: List of Notations
+
+#+date: 2019-03-15
+
+Here I list meanings of notations that may have not been explained
+elsewhere.
+
+- \(\text{ty}\): type. Given a word \(w \in [n]^\ell\),
+ \(\text{ty} w = (m_1, m_2, ..., m_n)\) where \(m_i\) is the number of
+ \(i\)'s in \(w\). For example
+ \(\text{ty} (1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 2) = (2, 3, 0, 1)\). The definition of
+ \(\text{ty} T\) for a tableau \(T\) is similar.
+- \([n]\): for \(n \in \mathbb N_{>0}\), \([n]\) stands for the set
+ \(\{1, 2, ..., n\}\).
+- \(i : j\): for \(i, j \in \mathbb Z\), \(i : j\) stands for the set
+ \(\{i, i + 1, ..., j\}\), or the sequence \((i, i + 1, ..., j)\),
+ depending on the context.
+- \(k = i : j\): means \(k\) iterates over \(i\), \(i + 1\),..., \(j\).
+ For example \(\sum_{k = 1 : n} a_k := \sum_{k = 1}^n a_k\).
+- \(x_{i : j}\): stands for the set \(\{x_k: k = i : j\}\) or the
+ sequence \((x_i, x_{i + 1}, ..., x_j)\), depending on the context. So
+ are notations like \(f(i : j)\), \(y^{i : j}\) etc.
+- \(\mathbb N\): the set of natural numbers / nonnegative integer
+ numbers \(\{0, 1, 2,...\}\), whereas
+- \(\mathbb N_{>0}\) or \(\mathbb N^+\): Are the set of positive integer
+ numbers.
+- \(x^w\): when both \(x\) and \(w\) are tuples of objects, this means
+ \(\prod_i x_{w_i}\). For example say \(w = (1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 2)\), and
+ \(x = x_{1 : 7}\), then \(x^w = x_1^2 x_2^3 x_4\).
+- \(LHS\), LHS, \(RHS\), RHS: left hand side and right hand side of a
+ formula
+- \(e_i\): the \(i\)th standard basis in a vector space:
+ \(e_i = (0, 0, ..., 0, 1, 0, 0, ...)\) where the sequence is finite or
+ infinite depending on the dimension of the vector space and the \(1\)
+ is the \(i\)th entry and all other entries are \(0\).
+- \(1_{A}(x)\) where \(A\) is a set: an indicator function, which
+ evaluates to \(1\) if \(x \in A\), and \(0\) otherwise.
+- \(1_{p}\): an indicator function, which evaluates to \(1\) if the
+ predicate \(p\) is true and \(0\) otherwise. Example: \(1_{x \in A}\),
+ same as \(1_A(x)\).
+- \(\xi \sim p\): the random variable \(xi\) is distributed according to
+ the probability density function / probability mass function /
+ probability measure \(p\).
+- \(\xi \overset{d}{=} \eta\): the random variables \(\xi\) and \(\eta\)
+ have the same distribution.
+- \(\mathbb E f(\xi)\): expectation of \(f(\xi)\).
+- \(\mathbb P(A)\): probability of event \(A\).
+- \(a \wedge b\): \(\min\{a, b\}\).
+- \(a \vee b\): \(\max\{a, b\}\).
+- \((\alpha)_+\): the positive part of \(\alpha\),
+ i.e. \(\alpha \vee 0\).
+- \((\alpha)_-\): the negative part of \(\alpha\),
+ i.e. \((- \alpha)_+\).
