Title: Parameterization of the Many-Body Quantum-Mechanical Wavefunction: A Problem for Algebraic Geometry?
Abstract: I will discuss the combinatoric structure of the wavefunction in many-body quantum mechanics and some known links to algebraic geometry. I’ll present several conjectures and open questions, explaining their conceptual and computational importance.
