Abstract

Aran Tattar

Torsion structures, subobjects and unique filtrations in non-abelian categories
This is an overview of my PhD studies. I'll discuss torsion pairs for quasi-abelian categories, intersections & sums of subobjects in exact categories and the role of right triangulated categories in (co-)t-structures.

Rocco Chirivì

Seshadri stratification and standard monomial theory
I will introduce the notion of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety. Such a structure enables the construction of a Newton-Okounkov simplicial complex and a flat degeneration of the projective variety into a union of toric varieties. Moreover a Seshadri stratification provides a geometric setup for a standard monomial theory. In particular, the Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths for Schubert varieties get a geometric interpretation as successive vanishing orders of regular functions.

George Balla

Tropical symplectic flag varieties: a Lie theoretic approach
I will describe a polyhedral cone given by certain degree functions on the root system of the symplectic Lie algebra. This cone interlaces tropical geometry of symplectic flag varieties with Lie theory. In this framework, one obtains a toric variety of the symplectic FFLV polytope. This is ongoing joint work with Xin Fang.
