The BATMOBILE is a vehicle for bringing together the algebraic and tropical geometry communities of Brown and surrounding institutions for a biannual day of talks.

Matt Baker

(Georgia Tech)
Non-archimedean and tropical geometry, algebraic groups, moduli spaces of matroids, and the field with one element

I will give an introduction to Oliver Lorscheid’s theory of ordered blueprints – one of the more successful approaches to “the field of one element” – and sketch its relationship to Berkovich spaces, tropical geometry, Tits models for algebraic groups, and moduli spaces of matroids. (See full abstract here.)
