Arrangements of hyperplanes and combinatorial constructions in topology
EF 2008-09
Résumé
This research is in an area of mathematics known as algebraic or topological combinatorics. The main theme is an interchange of ideas and techniques: the traditional core subjects (algebraic topology, algebraic geometry) have deep and surprising applications to discrete (combinatorial) mathematics of the sort that continually arises in computer science and operations research. Reciprocally, combinatorial methods can sometimes be used to construct interesting families of "test" objects for use as concrete tools in exploring otherwise abstract conceptual landscapes.
