It is not only that the public projection of him is very different from his actual work, and that this has led to important misunderstandings (that he believed that "sex solves everything"; that he was "a precu...

Higher Lawrence configurations

Any configuration of lattice vectors gives rise to a hierarchy of higher-dimensional configurations which generalize the Lawrence construction in geometric combinatorics. We prove finiteness results for the Markov bases, Graver bases and facet posets of these configurations, and we discuss applications to the statistical theory of log-linear models.
