Green functions associated to complex reflection groups G(e, 1, n) were discussed in the author’s previous paper. In this paper, we consider the case of complex reflection groups W = G(e, p, n). Schur functions and Hall-Littlewood functions associated to W are introduced, and Green functions are described as the transition matrix between those two symmetric functions. Furthermore, it is shown t...

To investigate how basic aspects of perception are shaped by acquired knowledge about the world, we assessed colour perception and cognition in patients with semantic dementia (SD), a disorder that progressively erodes conceptual knowledge. We observed a previously undocumented pattern of impairment to colour perception and cognition characterized by: (i) a normal ability to discriminate betwee...
