Joonkyung Lee (이준경) gave a talk on norms defined from graphs at the Discrete Math Seminar
On October 21, 2020, Joonkyung Lee (이준경) from University College London gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on norms defined from graphs motivated by Sidorenko’s conjecture and Gowers norms on extremal combinatorics, unifying two seemingly different concepts of real-norming graphs and complex-norming graphs. The title of his talk was “On graph norms for complex-valued functions“. Joonkyung Lee will stay at the IBS discrete mathematics group for several weeks from October 19.
Minki Kim (김민기) gave a talk on the collapsibility of the complex of vertex sets not containing independent sets of fixed size at the Discrete Math Seminar
On September 29, 2020, Minki Kim (김민기) from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group presented his work on the collapsibility of the complex $I_n(G)$ of vertex sets of a graph $G$ not containing any $n$-vertex independent set at the Discrete Math Seminar.

Zihan Tan gave a talk on an improved bound for the grid minor theorem of Robertson and Seymour at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium
On September 24, 2020, Zihan Tan from University of Chicago gave an online talk about his recent work with Julia Chuzhoy on an improved bound for the grid minor theorem of Robertson and Seymour. They prove that every graph with no $g\times g$ grid minor has tree-width at most $O(g^{9}\operatorname{poly log}(g))$. The title of his talk was “Towards Tight(er) Bounds for the Excluded Grid Theorem“.
