Combinatorics and Hodge theory

Nordfjordeid Summer school 2018

Speakers

Aim and Scope

The aim of the summer school is to provide an introduction to the recent advances in combinatorics and representation theory and in particular their interaction with algebraic geometry. The school is aimed at phd students (as well as advanced master students and early postdocs) with a general background in algebra, and with interests in algebra, geometry or topology. There will be three lecture series and extensive problem sessions.
 

Lecture series

Petter Brändén
Geometry and combinatorics of hyperbolic polynomials

June Huh
Hodge theory in geometry, algebra, and combinatorics

Nicholas Proudfoot
The algebraic geometry of Kazhdan-Lusztig-Stanley polynomials
