Title

Curvature invariants coming from linear programming

Abstract

I will discuss some new invariants of 2-dimensional cell complexes. They can be interpreted as curvature bounds but can also be computed as the extrema of certain linear programming problems. The definitions suggest a conjectural “map” of 2-complexes, which I will attempt to describe.
