Workshop on Combinatorics of Enumerative Geometry

Exceptional Riemann-Roch Theorems
Chris Eur
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: For a smooth projective variety, the classical Hirzebruch--Riemann--Roch (HRR) theorem asserts the isomorphism between the Chow ring and the Grothendieck K-ring of vector bundles over rational coefficients. For certain toric varieties, we...

Geometric Arthur Parameters
3:35pm|*Princeton University, Fine Hall 224*

Arthur proposed a description of automorphic forms in terms of tempered automorphic forms for centralizers of SL2 homomorphisms. I will explain a point of view on the Arthur parameterization in the setting of function fields coming from relative...

Hybrid Generic Pipe Dreams for Lower-upper Varieties
Allen Knutson
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: There has been a lot of recent work connecting the two pipe dream formulae for Schubert polynomials (classic and bumpless). One strand is the hybrid pipe dreams of Udell and myself, giving $2^n$ different pipe dream formulae; an orthogonal...

Intersection Theory of Matroids: Variations on a Theme
12:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Chow rings of toric varieties feature a rich combinatorial structure of independent interest. We will begin by surveying four different ways of computing in these rings, due to Billera, Brion, Fulton–Sturmfels, and Allermann–Rau. We will...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Low-Depth Algebraic Circuit Lower Bounds Over Any Field
Michael A. Forbes
10:30am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

The recent breakthrough of Limaye, Srinivasan and Tavenas (LST) gave the first super-polynomial lower bounds against low-depth algebraic circuits, for any field of zero (or sufficiently large) characteristic. It was an open question to extend this...

Workshop on Combinatorics of Enumerative Geometry

Enumerative Problems Related to Moduli Spaces of Curves and Graphs
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: I will survey new results on several enumerative problems related to the geometry, topology, and arithmetic of moduli spaces of smooth and stable curves. The enumerative problems include counting isomorphism classes of curves of genus $g$...

Zhen Gao (Universität Augsburg) :Morse-Bott Floer Homology and Rectangular Pegs

The rectangular peg problem, an extension of the square peg problem, is easy to outline but challenging to prove through elementary methods. In this talk, I discuss how...

Special Year Seminar II

Products of Chern Classes of Matroid Tautological Bundles (continued)
11:00am|Simonyi 101

In 2008, looking to bound the face vectors of tropical linear spaces, Speyer introduced the g-invariant of a matroid, defined in terms of exterior powers of tautological bundles on Grassmannians. He proved its coefficients nonnegative for matroids...

Tropical Ideals
Felipe Rincón
10:00am|Simonyi 101

Tropical ideals are combinatorial objects that abstract the behavior of the collections of subsets of lattice points that arise as the supports of all polynomials in an ideal. Their structure is governed by a sequence of ‘compatible’ matroids and...
