AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Topological Combinatorics

2010 Fall Central Section Meeting

Description: Practitioners of algebraic and topological combinatorics study combinatorial objects arising in representation theory, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, among other areas. Particular interests of some of the potential speakers listed below include cluster algebras, reflection groups, face numbers in triangulations of manifolds, cohomoloogy of flag manifolds and related objects, hyperplane arrangements, and symmetric functions. All of these subjects have received considerable attention in recent years.

Organizers: John Shareshian (Washington University in St. Louis) and Bridget Tenner (DePaul University)

Setting: Notre Dame, IN, November 5-7, 2010
Room: Room 129, DeBartolo Hall (just to the left of the stadium on this map)
