Graduate Research Seminar

For Spring 2014, I will be posting my assignment from FGCU's Graduate Research Seminar on this page, along with other related materials.

Summary of Project: A while ago I notice a peculiar behavior of the graphs associated with a well studied class of algebraic varieties, Schubert varieties. It appears to be the case that when a Schubert variety is rationally smooth, it's associated graph is an integral graph. As a start to verifying this observation, I will be computing the eigenvalues of the Schubert varieties in exceptional Lie types, as well as learning about the techniques involved in proving classes of graphs are integral.
