On November 26, 2024, Eng Keat Hng from the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group gave a talk on characterizing fractionally isomorphic graphons in terms of the Galton-Watson branching process. The title of his talk was “Graphon branching processes and fractional isomorphism“.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group had the “2024 DIMAG Internal Workshop” at the Lahan Hotel of Jeonju on November 19-23, 2024. Participants include almost all current members of DIMAG, Sebastian Wiederrecht and Eunjung Kim from KAIST, Minki Kim from GIST, Cheolwon Heo and Jungho Ahn from KIAS, Eun-Kyung Cho from Hanyang University, Niloufar Fuladi from INRIA, and Noleen Köhler from the University of Leeds. Every participant presented open problems and had active discussions.
On November 20, 2024, Songji Chae (채송지) received the 2022 Outstanding Staff Award (우수직원상) from the IBS president. Congratulations!
On November 12, 2024, Karim Adiprasito from the Jussieu Institute of Mathematics, Paris Rive Gauche gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on Ehrhart theory and the unimodality. The title of his talk was “Ehrhart theory revisited: Algebraic aspects, unimodality and more“.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group has an opening for the 1 IBS Young Scientist Fellowship.
With the vision of “Making discoveries for humanity and society,” the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was founded in 2011 by the Korean government to promote basic science in Korea. To date, IBS operates 32 Research Centers which have been yielding outstanding results in various research fields.
The IBS started to select Young Scientist Fellow (YSF) in 2016 to play an active role in fostering the next generation of basic science leaders. This program offers young scientists opportunities to conduct independent research with state-of-the-art research infrastructure of the IBS and to grow on the basis of research collaborations with leading researchers.
We hope that the YSF program serves as a stepping stone for our researchers to mature into leading researchers in basic science.
Discrete Mathematics Group has an opening. Budget: Up to KRW 180 million per year.
For other centers and groups, please visit the IBS website https://www.ibs.re.kr/ysf/.
On November 11, 2024, the IBS-DIMAG Workshop on Topology and Combinatorics was held at IBS, which had 7 invited speakers. Semin Yoo was the organizer.
Invited Speakers
On November 5, 2024, Michał Pilipczuk from the University of Warsaw gave a talk on the structural theory of graphs in terms of first-order transductions at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “Monadic stability and monadic dependence“.

The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Dr. Maximilian Gorsky, a new research fellow at the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group, from November 1, 2024. He received his Ph.D. from Technische Universität Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Stephan Kreutzer. He is interested in structural graph theory, (structural) matching theory, and structural digraph theory.
