Research Interests of Frank Sottile

Research Interests of Frank Sottile:

My original research interests were in the Schubert calculus, which is at the interface of algebraic geometry, representation theory and algebraic combinatorics. Over the years, this has evolved in many directions, including real algebraic geometry, computational algebraic geometry, spectral theory, Hopf algebras in combinatorics, discrete and computational geometry, and tropical geometry. Currently (June 2021), I am particularly interested in numerical computation in algebraic geometry and in studying Galois groups in enumerative geometry, and in applications of algebraic geometry to spectral theory. Another interest is to use the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies in applications of algebraic geometry. I have research projects in most of these areas, and have projects involving over two dozen collaborators.

More information may be found browsing my web page; I particularly recommend some mathematical short stories or some more involved web pages that I have created in the course of my research.

You may also find the descriptions of my research in recent successful grant proposals worthwhile.
