Solvability and Special Functions

We survey the ways in which solvability informs the study of special functions in algebra and representation theory. In particular, we explain how various natural Hecke algebra actions - from p-adic representation theory and from Schubert calculus - are manifested as Yang-Baxter equations of associated solvable lattice models. Then we describe how formal diagram identities of solvable models lead to new identities for the associated special functions.
