Conference on Toric Vector Bundles and Combinatorics

Location: Lecture Theatre A, James Clerk Maxwell Building, King’s Buildings, University of Edinburgh

Dates: 26 April – 30 April, 2027

Description: The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from algebraic geometry and combinatorics, with a special focus on toric vector bundles. The conference will start with introductory lectures on toric vector bundles and matroids, as well as an open problem session, making it especially beneficial for early-career researchers. There will also be opportunities for lightning talks.

Christine Berkesch (University of Minnesota)

Jyoti Dasgupta (IIT(ISM) Dhanbad)

Alex Fink (Queen Mary University, London)

José Gonzalez (University of California, Riverside)*

Andreas Hochenegger (Politecnico di Milano)
