Dear fdlist,
Fatemeh Mohammadi and I are excited to announce an open PhD position in our research group! The announcement is attached as a PDF and is also available on my website here: Job Daisie Rock - Open PhD Position
Here is a brief summary of the project we would like the PhD student to work on:
Our project is about the connection between matriod theory and representation theory via their shared connection to Grassmannians. Much of the information we know has been derived using combinatorial models, including matroids and triangulations of surfaces. In particular, combinatorics have been invaluable in the study of cluster algebras and cluster categories. There is increasing interest in the study of infinite dimensional algebras (categories), their representations, and related structures. The focus of this project will be extending the existing relationship between matriods and certain finite-type cluster algebras to similar types of infinite-dimensional cluster structures.
If you know any masters students who would be a good fit please do let them know. You are also welcome to send this announcement to anyone you think may be interested.
Sincerely,
J. Daisie Rock
