Workshop on Forms, Flags, Graphs and Beyond
May 9 - 12, 2019, University of Ottawa
Description
More details on the event are posted here: http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/kzaynull/ffgb/preliminary.html .
This workshop will focus on new results and developments which lie in the intersection of two areas of pure mathematics: on the one side it is the algebraic geometry with emphasis on the geometric theory of quadratic forms, twisted flag varieties and torsors; on the other side it is the algebraic combinatorics with its rich variety of techniques coming from representation theory and Schubert calculus. It will address the following two emerging directions of research and interrelations between them: Geometry of generic forms, classifying spaces and versal flag varieties and Moment graphs and generalized Schubert calculus.
