• Benjamin Duhamel, Excluding a forest induced minor

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    We give an induced counterpart of the Forest Minor theorem: for any t ≥ 2, the $K_{t,t}$-subgraph-free H-induced-minor-free graphs have bounded pathwidth if and only if H belongs to a class F of forests, which we describe as the induced minors of two (very similar) infinite parameterized families. This constitutes a significant step toward classifying

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    We consider an arc-capacitated directed graph $D=(V,A)$, where each node $v$ is associated with a rational balance value $b(v)$. Nodes with negative balance values are referred to as sources, while those with positive balance values are called sinks. A feasible $b$-transshipment is a flow $f : A \to \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ that routes the total supply

    GIST

    The 2026 Workshop on Topological Combinatorics will be held from June 28 to July 11, 2026 at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), located in Gwangju in the southwest of Republic of Korea.  The workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in applications of topology to combinatorics and related areas. This will be the

  • Ting-Wei Chao, The Oddtown Problem Modulo a Composite Number

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    A family of sets in $$ is called an $\ell$-Oddtown if the sizes of all sets are not divisible by $\ell$, but the sizes of pairwise intersections are divisible by $\ell$. The problem was completely solved when $\ell$ is a prime via an elegant linear algebraic method, showing that the family has size at most
