Title: Triangulations of the Root Polytopes.
Abstract: The root polytope associated to a subgraph of the complete
bipartite graph generalizes the Cartesian product of two simplices.
Triangulations of such polytopes is a well studied topic with connections
to algebraic geometry and computational algebra. We discuss recent work in
characterizing these triangulations.
The talk will not assume any background beyond linear algebra.
