Please join the Department of Mathematics and Statistics on Monday, October 18th at 3:30pm in Votey Hall 209 for a fascinating combinatorics seminar featuring Brown University’s Jeremy Usatine.

Gromov-Witten Theory and Invariants of Matroids

Jeremy Usatine, Brown University

Monday, October 25th, 3:30PM, Votey Hall 209

Abstract: I will discuss how to use Gromov-Witten theory to associate new invariants to matroids, and I will explain how these new invariants are related to counting curves in certain geometric spaces. This talk is based on joint work with Dhruv Ranganathan.
