Given an anticanonical divisor in a projective variety, one naturally obtains a monotone Kähler manifold, and the divisor complement is naturally a Liouville manifold. For certain kinds of singular divisors, we will outline a result obtaining rigid...

Relative symplectic cohomology, an invariant of subsets in a symplectic manifold, was recently introduced by Varolgunes. In this talk, I will present a generalization of this invariant to pairs of subsets, which shares similar properties with the...

First considered by Lee in the 40s, locally conformally symplectic (LCS) geometry appears as a generalization of symplectic geometry which allows for the study of Hamiltonian dynamics on a wider range of manifolds while preserving the local...

Delta matroids are a generalization of matroids, encompassing combinatorial structures such as matchings of graphs and principal minors of symmetric matrices. In this talk, I will discuss a notion of valuated Delta matroids and their...

Baker and Bowler (2019) showed that the Grassmannian can be defined over a tract, a field-like structure generalizing both partial fields and hyperfields.

This notion unifies theories for matroids over partial fields, valuated matroids, and oriented...

In this talk, I will first review previous works on matroid representations initiated by Tutte in 1958, generalized by Dress and Wenzel in the 1980s, and refined by Baker, Bowler, and Lorscheid more recently using the language of F1-algebra. It...

I will share with you a connection between multimatroids and moduli spaces of rational curves with cyclic action. Multimatroids are generalizations of matroids and delta-matroids that naturally arise from topological graph theory. The main result is...

I will introduce the external activity complex of an ordered pair of matroids on the same ground set. This is the combinatorial analogue of the Schubert variety of an ordered pair of linear subspaces of a fixed space, which is also new. These...

The groundbreaking results by Huh (further extended in joint work with Adiprasito and Katz) allowed to associate to a matroid a class in the Chow ring of the permutohedral variety. The technique turned out to be especially powerful, as certain...

We study the tropicalization of principal minors of positive definite matrices over a real valued field. This tropicalization forms a subset of M-concave functions on the discrete n-dimensional cube. We show that it coincides with a linear slice of...
