| Jun 18, 2020 at 16:51 | comment | added | darij grinberg | The "canonical" reference on crystal bases is now the eponymous book by Bump and Schilling. On Coxeter groups, most tend to recommend Björner/Brenti for a first combinatorial introduction (there are also notes by Heckman geared more towards geometers). | |

| Jun 18, 2020 at 16:30 | comment | added | darij grinberg | There is no established concept of what algebraic combinatorics is (though this isn't much different from other subjects: e.g., do Gröbner bases belong to algebraic geometry?). At best you can try to cluster mathematicians according to their joint knowledge. EC1-2 form a major cluster in the sense that someone who knows the material of one chapter is rather likely to know that of another; still, very few are really deeply familiar with the whole territory. | |
