Title: Lorentzian Polynomials and Log-Concavity

Time & Venue: 2026年5月27日(星期三)10:30-11:30 & MCM410

Abstract:The theory of Lorentzian polynomials was developed independently by Brändén–Huh and Anari–Liu–Oveis Gharan–Vinzant to study the structures underlying log-concavity phenomena. In this talk, I will give a survey of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials and discuss some of its applications to log-concavity results in matroid theory.

Title: Volume Polynomials and Volume Inequalities

Time & Venue: 2026年5月29日(星期五)10:30-11:30 &  MCM410

Abstract: Volume polynomials form a special family of Lorentzian polynomials. In this talk, I will discuss how volume polynomials can be used to deduce many fundamental inequalities, including the Alexandrov–Fenchel inequalities, the Loomis–Whitney inequalities, the Khovanskii–Teissier inequalities, and the reverse Khovanskii–Teissier inequalities. This is joint work with June Huh, Mateusz Michałek, and Jian Xiao.
