Cluster algebras
Colloquium| Speaker: | Sergey Fomin, University of Michigan |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Apr 15 2008, 4:10PM |
Cluster algebras arise in various algebraic and geometric contexts, with combinatorics providing a unifying framework. My presentation of the basic definitions and results of this emerging theory will be guided by two sets of examples: coordinate rings of classical algebraic varieties, and cluster algebras associated with bordered oriented surfaces with marked points.
