Topic:
Yuzvinsky's conjecture, posed in 1981, is concerned with a certain
matrix coloring problem which arose from the classical studies of sums
of squares. In this talk I will present a proof of the conjecture in
the case of square matrices. The ideas of the proof are inspired by
algebra and topology, despite the purely combinatorial nature of the
conjecture itself.
