Geometry and Topology Seminar: Irina Kogan, NC State, An Introduction to Computational Invariant Theory (Part II)

April 24 | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Invariants withstand transformations and, therefore, represent the essence of objects or phenomena. In mathematics, transformations often constitute a group action. Since the 19th century, studying the structure of various types of invariants and designing methods and algorithms to compute them remains an active area of ongoing research with an abundance of applications, in particular, to mathematical physics, computer image processing and recognition, computer-aided design, and biological modeling. In this incredibly vast topic, I will focus on displaying a fruitful interplay between the methods from differential and algebraic invariant theories.
This is a tutorial-type talk meant to be accessible to graduate students and anyone new to the subject. Part II is accessible w/o part I.
