Title |
On the closure of a linear space |
Abstract |
Let L in k^n be a linear subspace. If we choose coordinates, we can readily write down its defining equations as an affine variety. These coordinates in turn suggest several projective closures of L in various projective varieties. I’ll discuss joint work with Federico Ardila which computes one of these closures in great detail. This reveals a close interaction between several matroid invariants and invariants arising in commutative algebra. |
