Laura Escobar Vega (Washington University St. Louis)

A Newton-Okounkov body is a convex set associated to a projective variety, equipped with a valuation. These bodies generalize the theory of Newton polytopes. Work of Kaveh-Manon gives an explicit link between tropical geometry and Newton-Okounkov bodies. We use this link to describe a wall-crossing phenomenon for Newton-Okounkov bodies. This is joint work with Megumi Harada.

The discussion for Laura Escobar Vega’s talk is taking place not in zoom-chat, but at tinyurl.com/2020-07-17-lev (and will be deleted after 3-7 days).
