Title:
A path through mathematics the polyhedral way
Speaker:
Abstract:
Convex Polyhedra are among some of the oldest mathematical objects (e.g., platonic solids) and captivate mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike with their beauty. But many mathematicians do not know the surprising fact they naturally appear in many mathematical areas from the pure (representation theory, number theory, combinatorics), to the applied (optimization, statistics). I will talk about several open problems on convex polyhedra that prove their strong centrality and depth in mathematics and that are the subject of active research, including some of what is presented in the Simons Institute event.
