Matthias Beck (EDT) Integer Points in Polyhedra-Geometry, Number Theory, Representation Theory, Algebra, Optimization, Statistics

Annotation

The AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference "Integer Points in Polyhedra-Geometry, Number Theory, Representation Theory, Algebra, Optimization, Statistics" was held in Snowbird, Utah in June 2006. This proceedings volume contains research and survey articles originating from the conference. The volume is a cross section of recent advances connected to lattice-point questions. Similar to the talks given at the conference, topics range from commutative algebra to optimization, from discrete geometry to statistics, from mirror symmetry to geometry of numbers. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in combinatorial aspects of the above fields.
