Toric varieties and matroids

Speaker: Piotr Achinger (UC Berkeley)

Time: 4:00pm

Date: Monday 4th November 2013

Location: CASL Seminar Room, Block 8, Belfield Office Park

Abstract:

I will sketch a surprising connection between "characteristic p" geometry of toric varieties and combinatorics. More precisely: a correspondence between toric arieties which are diagonally Frobenius split in all characteristics and regular matroids.
