Two hard polynomial systems from enumerative geometry
E1 05 (Leibniz-Saal)
Abstract
I will discuss briefly two problems from enumerative geometry and their formulation as systems of polynomials. One involves Galois groups of Fano problems, and the other a possible relation between Welschinger invariants and the degree of the Wronski map in the real Schubert calculus. These systems appear challenging (or not possible) to solve, which has impeded some recent investigations.
