Abstract
A survey is given on a class of birational Weyl group actions which have been proposed by a series of works by Y. Yamada and the author. Examples of type A are discussed in detail. In particular, a proof for the Jacobi-Trudi formula for the τ-cocycle of type A is given in the framework of matrices
