Jan 10, 2021 at 3:05 comment added user149000 I believe Hironaka's proof of resolution of singularities uses some combinatorial arguments..

Jul 7, 2015 at 14:36 comment added Sam Hopkins In the same spirit as my last comment, but (as I am told) now establishing a new result, here is a link to a tropical proof of the maximal rank conjecture for quadrics: arxiv.org/abs/1505.05460

Mar 28, 2015 at 3:27 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Mathematical truth has very few sources. Arithmetic is one, combinatorics is another. Most things have a genealogy which goes all the way to these true Adam and Eves, through a surprisingly short chain of begats.
Mar 28, 2015 at 2:59 comment added Turbo I bet there is a crucial lemma or two from combinatorics when you derive bounds on AG codes or counting points on varieties on Field of characteristic $\neq0$?

Mar 27, 2015 at 16:10 comment added user5117 As others have indicated, I think there is such an overlap between the two subjects that it's hard to know where one ends and the other begins. I thnik @JustinHilburn has given the most compelling example. Another notable one is the appearance of combinatorics (of a rather different kind) in the study of moduli spaces of curves. This paper by Pandharipande--Pixton gives a good idea of what I'm talking about: arxiv.org/pdf/1301.4561.pdf

Mar 27, 2015 at 2:41 comment added Omar Antolín-Camarena So more people feel curious about @SamHopkins's link: it points to a paper called A tropical proof of the Brill-Noether Theorem by Filip Cools, Jan Draisma, Sam Payne, Elina Robeva.

Mar 27, 2015 at 1:02 comment added Todd Trimble Somewhat along the lines of Turbo's comment (in fact, all the comments before this), it's a little hard to know what combinatorics is exactly, or how one should define its scope. For example, matroids from one point of view is combinatorics. From another, it's more or less what model theorists call a "geometry" or "pre-geometry".
Mar 26, 2015 at 22:19 comment added Justin Hilburn Toric varieties and polyhedra?
Mar 26, 2015 at 22:03 comment added Turbo As I heard everything is about counting stated abstractly.
