Tropical Curves
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Florian Block, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Mon, Nov 19 2012, 12:10PM |
I will explain what tropical curves are, how they appear as a "logarithmic limit" of classical algebraic curves, and compute some examples. Then we'll prove the tropical Bezout theorem. Finally, we'll look at some higher dimensional examples of tropical varieties.
