Talk
Towards Nash Discriminants
- Bernd Sturmfels (MPI MiS, Leipzig)
Abstract
This talk is a warm-up for the upcoming SL Math summer school. A show of examples invites you to read about discriminants in the book by Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. My focus lies on mixed discriminants for square systems of polynomials. The main application are systems for Nash equilibria in game theory, as studied recently by Abo, Portakal and Sodomaco.
