Tropical Geometry, Representation Theory, and the Grassmannian variety.
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Chris Manon, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Fri, Jan 28 2011, 11:00AM |
I will talk about some basic aspects of the two apparently very different fields of tropical geometry and representation theory, and then relate both of them to the geometry of the Grassmannian variety.
