NUMERICAL ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY

SpeakerDR. ANDREW SOMMESE
Organization UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME DU LAC, DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
LocationEBII ROOM 1230
Start Date October 19, 2007 12:30 PM
End Date October 19, 2007 1:30 PM

Following an overview of Numerical Algebraic Geometry, some recent ongoing work will be presented:

 

    
 
a)                  Some of the numerical issues dealt in the design of software for Numerical Algebraic Geometry and some details about Bertini, the software package recently released by D. Bates, J. Hauenstein, C. Wampler, and myself;
 

b)                  Work with C. Wampler on numerical computation of exceptional sets of algebraic maps (with regards to fiber dimension) by means of iterated fiber products; and

 c)              Work with D. Bates, D. Peterson, and C. Wampler on numerical computation of the geometric genus of curve.
