Speaker: Mieke Fink (Western/Osnabrück) Title: "Bergman fans of cosmological hyperplane arrangements" Room: MC 108 Abstract: Cho-Matsumoto and Kita-Yoshida introduced intersection forms on the twisted (co)homology of hyperplane arrangement complements. Recently, Thomas Lam gave a closed form of the pairing in terms of the matroid of the arrangement. We compute the Bergman fan of some arrangements of interest in cosmology in order to apply Lam's formula in this setting. |
