Speaker: Graham Denham (Western) Title: "Resolving configuration hypersurfaces" Room: MC 108 Abstract: The hypersurface given by the Kirchhoff polynomial is a singular projective variety with relevance to physics, and also a geometric construction from a matroid realization. I will describe a resolution of singularities for such hypersurfaces using the geometry of matroids. This is based on joint work with Dan Bath, Mathias Schulze, and Uli Walther. |
