Let $Q_n$ be the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube (hypercube) and $N=2^n$. We prove that the number of maximal independent sets in $Q_n$ is asymptotically $2n2^{N/4}$, as was conjectured by Ilinca and Kahn in connection with a question of Duffus, Frankl and Rödl. The value is a natural lower bound derived from a connection between maximal independent sets and induced matchings. The proof of the upper bound draws on various tools, among them "stability" results for maximal independent set counts and old…

An odd -factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that for every vertex $v \in V(G)$, $1 \le d_H(v) \le b$, and $d_H(v)$ is odd. For positive integers $r \ge 3$ and $b \le r$, Lu, Wu, and Yang gave an upper bound for the third largest eigenvalue in an $r$-regular graph with even number of vertices to guarantee the existence of an odd -factor. In this talk, we improve their bound.

### Patrice Ossona de Mendez, A model theoretical approach to sparsity

We discuss how the model theoretic notion of first-order transduction allows to define a notion of structural sparsity, and give some example of applications, like existence of low shrub-depth decompositions for tranductions of bounded expansion classes, characterization of transductions of classes with bounded pathwidth, decompositions of graphs with bounded rank-width into cographs.

## August 2019

### 2019 Combinatorics Workshop

The annual conference on Combinatorics Workshop (조합론 학술대회) began in 2004 by the Yonsei University BK21 Research Group. This year it will take place in Songdo, Incheon, August 13-15, 2019. Due to the capacity (50 persons) of the place, we are able to limit your registration. In principle, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
