Molecular Alterations Associated with Cancer-Associated Fibroblast-Induced Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

In 1962 Ehrhart proved that the number of lattice points in integer dilates of a lattice polytope is given by a polynomial — the Ehrhart polynomial of the polytope. Since then Ehrhart theory has developed into a very active area of research at the intersection of combinatorics, geometry and algebra.

The Ehrhart polynomial encodes important information about the polytope such as its volume and the dimension. An important tool to study Ehrhart polynomials is the h*-polynomial, a linear transform of the Ehrhart polynomial which is given by the numerator of the generating series. By a famous theorem of Stanley the coefficients of the h*-polynomial are always nonnegative integers. In this talk, we discuss generalizations of this result to weighted lattice point enumeration in rational polytopes where the weight function is given by a polynomial. In particular, we show that Stanley’s Nonnegativity Theorem continues to hold if the weight is a sum of products of linear forms that a nonnegative over the polytope. This is joint work with Esme Bajo, Robert Davis, Jesús De Loera, Alexey Garber, Sofía Garzón Mora and Josephine Yu.

In this talk we define a new category of matroids, by working on matroid polytopes and rank preserving weak maps. This lets us introduce the concept of categorical valuativity for functors, which can be seen as a categorification of the ordinary valuativity for matroid invariants.

We also show that this new theory agrees with what we know about valuative polynomials: several known valuative polynomials can be seen as a Hilbert series of some graded vector space and we prove that these graded vector spaces let us define a valuative functor in the new sense. 

Lastly, we sketch how to categorify a Theorem by Ardila and Sanchez, which states that the convolution of two valuative invariants (respectively, valuative functors) is again valuative.

This is based on a joint ongoing project with Ben Elias, Dane Miyata and Nicholas Proudfoot.

We invite you to the January RoCS Solar/Stellar Lunch. You are invited to discuss your work with colleagues.

Molecular Interaction of Heat-Labile Enterotoxin B-pentamer with Lipopolysaccharides

Theoretical models can provide fundamental insights on the substrate activation by metals as well as on the interactions between the different catalysts. This will allow the deciphering at the atomic level of the preferential pathways leading to different reaction products.

We welcome you join this symposium in Computational Catalysis 

How can new technologies help us build social relations and improve mental health? Do young people prefer to talk to chatbots instead of healthcare personnel? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new technologies? Meet researchers from SINTEF and UiO who are experts in chatbots and language models; and a startup from Oslo Science Park.
