Volumes and Triangulations of Permutation Polytopes

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Mohamed Omar, UC Davis
Location: 1147 MSB
Start time: Fri, Jan 14 2011, 11:00AM

Permutation Polytopes are beautiful symmetric convex polytopes that arise natural from finite groups. We will discuss recent advances in understanding their volumes and triangulations. This is joint work with Jesus De Loera and Katherine Jones.
