Cluster algebras
Colloquium| Speaker: | Sergey Fomin, University of Michigan |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |

Description
Cluster algebras arise in various algebraic and geometric contexts, with
combinatorics providing a unifying framework. My presentation of the basic
definitions and results of this emerging theory will be guided by two sets
of examples: coordinate rings of classical algebraic varieties, and
cluster algebras associated with bordered oriented surfaces with marked
points.
