Matthew Baker : Riemann-Roch for Graphs and Applications
We will begin by formulating the Riemann-Roch theorem for graphs due to the speaker and Norine. We will then describe some refinements and applications. Refinements include a Riemann-Roch theorem for tropical curves, proved by Gathmann-Kerber and Mikhalkin-Zharkov, and a Riemann-Roch theorem for metrized complexes of curves, proved by Amini and the speaker. Applications (mainly due to other researchers) include new proofs of some important results in Brill-Noether theory, a generalization of the Eisenbud-Harris theory of limit linear series, and new bounds for the number of rational points on algebraic curves over number fields.
