Abstract:
The neural ideal was introduced by Curto, Itskov, et al in 2013 to study the spatial firing patterns of a set of neurons, turning problems in neuroscience and coding theory into algebraic questions. In this talk I will show how tools from commutative algebra can be applied to study and classify neural ideals. This work is joint with Hugh Geller and Nora Youngs
