Abstract: Matroids are combinatorial structures that model independence, such as that of edges in a graph and vectors in a linear space. I will introduce the theory of matroids along with their surprising connection to a class of multivariate...

Abstract: Tropical geometry is a modern degeneration technique in algebraic geometry. Think of it as a very drastic degeneration in which one associates a limiting object to a family of algebraic varieties that is entirely combinatorial.  I will...
