Connections between electronic structure theory and algebraic geometry run through the computational paradigm of numerical algebraic geometry. This creates opportunities for research advancement in both fields, while posing challenges due to the resulting large-scale but sparse polynomial systems whose solutions are desired. This workshop will focus on the current state of the art of numerically solving large polynomial systems. While showcasing computational tools that are being developed, it will begin with expository talks whose goals is to present the opportunities and challenges that electron structure theory and numerical algebraic geometry mutually bring to each other.
This workshop will include a poster session; a request for posters will be sent to registered participants in advance of the workshop.
