Special Year Seminar I

The Moduli Space of Matroids
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Lecture Series Framework:  A unifying framework for F1-geometry, tropical schemes and matroid theory. In this series of 3 lectures, I will present a recent approach towards F1-geometry and its links to tropical geometry, matroid theory, Lorentzian...

Special Year Seminar II

Foundations of Matroids
10:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The second lecture features the nuts and bolts of the invariants from first lecture, which we call foundations. We explain the structure theorem for foundations of ternary matroids, which is rooted in Tutte's homotopy theorem. We show how this...

Special Year Seminar II

Tits's Dream: Buildings Over F1 and Combinatorial Flag Varieties
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The theme of the third lecture is the notion of points over F1, the field with one element. Several heuristic computations led to certain expectations on the set of F1-points: for example the Euler characteristic of a smooth projective complex...
