Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Forging the Future of CERN; A View from the Council
Eliezer Rabinovici
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: The Council of CERN is responsible for formulating the scientific and financial policy of CERN. It does this with strong coordination with the CERN Director General and Management. I will describe how the CERN Council reaches its decisions...

Derived Categories of the Permutahedral Varieties
Mario Sanchez
10:00am|Simonyi 101

Abstract: The derived category of a variety is an important and difficult invariant. In this talk, I discuss a purely convex-geometric and combinatorial approach to these categories for toric varieties. Along the way, we will run into the curious...

BOOK LAUNCH: Imagining the Heavens Across Eurasia

Imagining the Heavens Across Eurasia from Antiquity to Early Modernity, edited by Rana Brentjes, Sonja Brentjes and Stamatina Mastorakou
12:00pm

No matter where they are on earth, when people look at the sky, they see the sun, moon, stars, and planets rising and setting every day and every night. Nonetheless, their perception of what they are looking at differs significantly depending on the...

Tropical Quiver Representations
Victoria Schleis
12:00pm|Simonyi 101

Abstract: Grassmannians and flag varieties are important moduli spaces in algebraic geometry. Quiver Grassmannians are generalizations of these spaces arise in representation theory as the moduli spaces of quiver subrepresentations. These represent...

Geometry of Delta-Matroids
Matt W Larson
2:30pm|Simonyi 101

Abstract: Delta-matroids are "type B" or "type C" analogues of matroids. I will discuss how to extend a geometric construction related to matroids to delta-matroids. Using this construction, we prove the ultra log-concavity of the number of...
