Seminar by Jian Xiao: Extremals in log-concavity: an algebro-geometric viewpoint



Date: Friday, April 18
Venue: Lecture Hall of IASM
Speaker: Jian Xiao 肖建 ( Tsinghua University)
Pretalk: Examples on log-concavity
Time: 16:15-16:45
Abstract: We present several examples on log-concavity in geometry and combinatorics, behind which is the Hodge index theorem.
Research talk: Extremals in log-concavity: an algebro-geometric viewpoint
Time: 16:45-17:35
Abstract: We show how to formulate the extremal problem in log-concavity in the framework of algebraic geometry, and discuss some of our progress towards the conjectural picture. Based on joint work with Jiajun Hu.
