David R. Wood gave a talk on a weakening of Hadwiger’s conjecture in terms of the clustered chromatic number at the Discrete Math Seminar

On September 22, 2026, David R. Wood from Monash University gave a talk on coloring graphs without K_t minor with t colors while avoiding large monochromatic components at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “Proof of the Clustered Hadwiger Conjecture“.
