This family has attracted inten sive interest in the last thirty years\, thanks to a series of conjectures initiated by Boris and Michael Shapiro\, later proven by Mukhin-Tarasov-V archenko and generalized in many directions. Broadly\, these results uncov er rich topological structure\, built out of Young tableaux and familiar c ombinatorial rules\, in the Wronski map over the real numbers. Most prior work has focused on the case where the osculation points are all real. In this case\, the Wronski map is described by standard tableaux. I will desc ribe a recent extension (joint with Kevin Purbhoo) that allows the osculat ion points to occur in complex conjugate pairs. We describe certain fibers of the map using domino tableaux\, and we relate its topological degree t o the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for symmetric group characters. Our result l eads to a new\, topological proof of the original Shapiro-Shapiro conjectu re\, and suggests some intriguing new topological-combinatorial questions to pursue.\n\n \n DTSTART:20190801T150000Z DTEND:20190801T160000Z LOCATION:Room PK-4323\, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy SUMMARY:Jake Levinson\, Université de Washington URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jake-levinson-universite- de-washington-298864 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
