Hypergraph decompositions and their applications
Speaker: Peter Keevash, Oxford Title: Hypergraph decompositions and their applications Abstract: Many combinatorial objects can be thought of as a hypergraph decomposition, i.e. a partition of (the edge set of) one hypergraph […]
Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings
Speaker: Andrea Brini, U Sheffield Title: Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a venerable subfield of Mathematics, with roots dating back to Greek Antiquity and a present […]
The Hitchin connection for parabolic G-bundles
Speaker: Richard Wentworth, University of Maryland Title: The Hitchin connection for parabolic G-bundles Abstract: For a simple and simply connected complex group G, I will discuss some elements of the proof of […]
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions
Speaker: Maria Chudnovsky, Princeton Title: Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions Abstract: Tree decompositions are a powerful tool in both structural graph theory and graph algorithms. Many hard problems become tractable if the […]
