Title: Matroids doing algebra

Speaker: Jim Geelen
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Location MC 5417

Abstract:

We describe a folklore construction for encoding a Diophantine equation into a matroid and state a conjecture which, if true, would give a novel way of solving Diophantine equations over the reals.
