We show that various classical theorems of linear incidence geometry, such as the theorems of Pappus, Desargues, Möbius, and so on, can be interpreted as special cases of a general result that involves a tiling of a closed oriented surface by...

I’ll describe a circle of ideas that links Schubert polynomials with representation theory, via some configuration spaces studied by Magyar (and which include Schubert’s famous space of complete triangles). Most of the geometric connections were...

Make a reservation via OpenTable.

The theory of quantum cohomology was developed in the early 1990s by physicists working in the field of superstring theory.

Mathematicians then discovered applications to enumerative geometry, counting the number of rational curves of a given degree...

We present a combinatorial approach to the Deligne-Mumford-Knudsen compactification of the moduli space of n distinct points on the projective line $P^1$. The idea is to choose a totally symmetric embedding of the orbits of generic points into a...

A real plane algebraic curve C is called expressive if its defining polynomial has the smallest number of critical points allowed by the topology of the set of real points of C. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for expressivity (subject...
