Title: Bipartite determinantal ideals and concurrent vertex maps

Abstract: The classical determinantal ideals play an important role in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, representation theory and combinatorics. They can be generalized to bipartite determinantal ideals which are the defining ideals of Nakajima's affine graded quiver variety. In this talk, we will introduce a combinatorial model called concurrent vertex maps to describe the Stanley-Reisner complex of the initial ideal of any bipartite determinantal ideal, and study properties and applications of this model.
