Abstract

Discrete geometry investigates combinatorial properties of configurations of geometric objects.The topics of this course include: basics on convex sets, convex polytopes, and hyperplane arrangements; combinatorial complexity of geometric configurations; intersection patterns and transversals of convex sets; geometric Ramsey-type results; polyhedral combinatorics and high-dimensional convexity.
