Abstract:
Algebraic geometry over the ``field with one element'' was an idea first introduced by Jacquet Tits in the 1950s. After motivations from algebraic group theory and matroid theory, I will sketch the idea for band and band schemes along with their basic properties. There are various different topological spaces which one can associate to a band scheme $X$, and they correspond to various interesting combinatorial structures. This is based on a joint work with Matt Baker and Oliver Lorscheid.
