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.
