In the 1850s, Kummer discovered some striking congruences mod powers of a prime number p between values of the Riemann zeta function at negative odd integers.  This was part of his attempt to understand structural aspects of certain algebraic...

Abstract: Matroids are combinatorial structures that model independence, such as that of edges in a graph and vectors in a linear space. I will introduce the theory of matroids along with their surprising connection to a class of multivariate...

Abstract: Tropical geometry is a modern degeneration technique in algebraic geometry. Think of it as a very drastic degeneration in which one associates a limiting object to a family of algebraic varieties that is entirely combinatorial.  I will...
