The Fall Eastern AMS sectional meeting was held at Bowdoin College in Brunswick ME on Sept 24-25, 2016. Tony Iarrobino (Northeastern Univ), Leila Khatami (Union College) and Julianna Tymoczko (Smith College) organized a Special Session on Combinatorial Aspects of Nilpotent Orbits at this meeting, and I contributed a talk on Nilpotent elements and sections.
Here are the slides for my talk.
