Title: Recent Progress on the Marcus-de Oliveira Conjecture
Abstract: Marcus and de Oliveira conjectured bounds on the determinant of a sum of normal n-by-n matrices given their eigenvalues. We will discuss representation theoretic and combinatorial tools which have yielded a novel proof of the conjectured bounds for n=3, and we will outline how these tools may be used for higher values of n.
This is joint work with Luke Oeding.
