Description

From its introduction in the early 90s, tropical geometry has provided an ample variety of applications in several areas of mathematics. Initially motivated by computer science, this discipline has found its maximal expression in the realm of algebraic geometry. In this perspective, the goal of tropical geometry is to transform questions regarding algebraic varieties into combinatorial problems: there is a process, called tropicalization, that associates a polytope to any algebraic variety in such a way that the geometry of the latter is reflected in the combinatorial properties of the former. 

The aim of the school is to introduce researchers in algebraic geometry to tropical geometry, not only for the sake of the subject itself, but also to provide efficient tropical tools that can be applied in other areas of algebraic geometry, with a special attention to moduli spaces.

Note: Please, note that the week after this school (8-12 Sep), there will be a workshop in Bologna on related topics. Check the website !

 Equality, diversity and sustainability

The organizers are committed to advance gender equality, to value diversity, and to promote sustainability in academia. For this reason we will make reasonable attempts to secure a diverse line-up of speakers and participants and to reduce waste in the series of Trento Schools in Geometry.
