Chip-Firing Games & Gonality by Franny Dean ’19, Mathematics Colloquium, today, 1 – 1:45 pm, Stetson Court Classroom 101
Abstract:
In 2007, M. Baker established a theory of divisors and gonality upon combinatorial graphs as an analogue to algebraic geometry. This theory has an intuitive explanation in terms of chip-firing games upon graphs. In this talk, I will discuss these chip-firing games and present results about graph gonality discovered this summer at the SMALL REU in mathematics.
