This page lists expository notes on various topics in geometric representation theory. They are grouped by topic, and within each topic are roughly ordered from most accessible to most specialized.

Many of these notes are from talks given at learning seminars, summer schools, workshops, etc. They are generally informal and may contain mistakes. Use at your own risk!
