Gröbner bases and convex polytopes
Tu 11.15-13.00, Th 14.15-15.00 Aud. D3
This is a course on Gröbner bases and convex polytopes following
the monograph "Gröbner Bases and Convex Polytopes", University
Lecture Series, Volume 8, American Mathematical Society, 1996 by
B. Sturmfels. The
first three weeks will be a head on crash course introducing Gröbner
bases. Then we will move on to Sturmfels' book. Topics will include
universal Gröbner bases, convexity theory, the Gröbner fan,
the state polytope, variation of term orders, toric ideals and
integer linear programming.
Exercises will be given and participants are expected to wrestle
and pin them down.
