Kickoff for Linear Spaces of Symmetric Matrices study group (31.07.2020)

Scientists at MiS and other institutes around the globe have just established a collaborative project that aspires to advance the understanding of linear spaces of symmetric matrices (LSSM). These objects appear simple at first, but a closer investigation from many contrasting perspectives prompts a variety of intriguing mathematical questions.
The more than 40 participants of the study group compiled them in a list aspirationally named "3264 Questions about Symmetric Matrices" and they plan to engage these problems in a series of papers. The project is coordinated by Orlando Marigliano, Mateusz Michałek, Kristian Ranestad, Tim Seynnaeve, and Bernd Sturmfels.

Some of the aspects under which LSSM will be scrutinized include
- combinatorics
- intersection theory
- algebraic geometry
- semidefinite programming
- algebraic statistics
- matroid theory
- non-archimedian analysis
- optimization
- likelihood geometry
