Combinatorics of moduli of curves in genus 0 and Chow rings of matroids
May 11-15, 2026 at LACIM, UQAM, Montreal
We will hold two summer schools + a one-day conference for graduate students and postdocs interested in combinatorial aspects of moduli of curves in genus 0, including recent connections to Chow rings of matroids. Limited travel funding will be available for graduate students. Details forthcoming in January 2026.
Organizers:
Spencer Backman (University of Vermont)
Maria Gillespie (Colorado State University)
Jake Levinson (Université de Montréal)
Alejandro Morales (Université du Québec à Montréal)
Minicourses: Two minicourses will be held May 11-14, 2026, mornings and afternoons. Participants will attend both.
Maria Gillespie: Combinatorics and geometry of moduli spaces of genus-0 stable curves.
Shiyue Li: Chow rings of matroids and connections to moduli spaces of genus-0 curves.
One-day conference: A one-day conference will be held May 15, 2026.
Speakers: TBD.
