讲座主题：Intersection cohomology in combinatorics
讲座摘要:
Many important posets (partially ordered sets) in combinatorics have algebriac interpretations. We will go over three families of examples: toric varieties, Schubert varieties and matroid Schubert varieties. We will discuss how to translate some of the combinatorical invariants into the geometric ones, and the application of intersection cohomology groups in solving combinatorical problems. In the second part, we will give a more detailed introduction to the definition of intersection cohomology in the non-realizable cases, that is, when there is no associated algebraic varieties.
