Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Pablo Parillo (MIT) Title: Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks Abstract: The sparsity structure of a system of polynomial equations or an optimization problem can be naturally described by a graph summarizing the interactions among the decision variables. It is natural to wonder whether the structure of this graph might help in computational algebraic geometry […]
On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Washington Tayor (MIT) Title: On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds Abstract: In recent years, there is increasing evidence from a variety of directions, including the physics of F-theory and new generalized CICY constructions, that a large fraction of known Calabi-Yau manifolds have a genus one or elliptic fibration. In this talk I will describe […]
