Title: Configurations of boxes
Abstract: Configurations of axis-parallel boxes in R^d are extensively studied in combinatorial and computational geometry. Despite their innocent appearance, there are many old problems involving their structure that are still not well understood. I will talk about a construction, which addresses several of these problems, and shows that configurations of boxes may be more complex than people conjectured.
