====== Stefan van Zwam (Louisiana State) ======

====== A Stroll through Partial Fields ======

===== Abstract for the Combinatorics Seminar 2018 April 2 =====

In this talk I will discuss partial fields: what they were, what they are, why we care, and what we can do with them. Topics include a lift theorem, a confinement theorem, universal partial fields, skew partial fields, multilinear matroid representations, and matrix-tree theorems.
