The
Göran Gustafsson Lectures
in Mathematics 2022
June Huh
(Princeton University)
Abstract:
Lorentzian
polynomials link continuous convex analysis and discrete convex
Analysis via tropical geometry.
The tropical connection is used to produce
Lorentzian polynomials from discrete convex functions.
The talk will be
accessible
to a general audience: No specific background beyond linear algebra
and multivariable calculus are
required for most of the presentation.
In addition, I advertise the talk to
people with interests in at least one of the
following
topics: graphs, convex bodies, stable polynomials, projective varieties,
partition
functions, tropicalizations, Schur
polynomials,
highest
weight representations.
Based on joint work with Petter Brändén.
