SM'ART

An announcement on the following workshop:

SM'ART
Seminar on Matroids
in Algebra, Representation theory and Topology
*Borel Seminar 2016*
January 24-29, Les Diablerets, Switzerland.

The interaction between matroid theory and other areas of mathematics has recently seen major progress on several fronts. This workshop will  offer early-career researchers exposure to areas of matroid theory that  delve deeply into algebra, topology and geometry, giving an opportunity to gain background for research in these areas and to interact with leading experts.

Lectures are given by
Laura Anderson (SUNY Binghamton) - Combinatorial models of the real and
complex Grassmannian
Alex Fink (Queen Mary London) - Tropical Grassmannians
June Huh (IAS, Princeton, CMI) - Hodge Theory for combinatorial geometries
Matteo Varbaro (Genova) - Commutative algebra of Stanley-Reisner rings
Max Wakefield (US Naval Academy) - Matroid Kazhdan-Lusztig Polynomials
Geordie Williamson (MPI Bonn) - An introduction to the geometry of
KL-Polynomials

Organizers: Laura Anderson, Emanuele Delucchi and Elisa Gorla.
