SUMMARY:Cheolwon Heo (허철원)\, The complexity of the matroid-homomorphism problems
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we introduce homomorphisms between binary matroids that generalize graph homomorphisms. For a binary matroid $N$\, we prove a complexity dichotomy for the problem $\rm{Hom}_\mathbb{M}(N)$ of deciding if a binary matroid $M$ admits a homomorphism to $N$. The problem is polynomial-time solvable if $N$ has a loop or has no circuits of odd length\, and is otherwise $\rm{NP}$-complete. We also get dichotomies for the list\, extension\, and retraction versions of the problem.\nThis is joint work with Hyobin Kim and Mark Siggers at Kyungpook National University.

SUMMARY:Kyeongsik Nam (남경식)\, Large deviations for subgraph counts in random graphs
DESCRIPTION:The upper tail problem for subgraph counts in the Erdos-Renyi graph\, introduced by Janson-Ruciński\, has attracted a lot of attention. There is a class of Gibbs measures associated with subgraph counts\, called exponential random graph model (ERGM). Despite its importance\, lots of fundamental questions have remained unanswered owing to the lack of exact solvability. In this talk\, I will talk about a brief overview on the upper tail problem and the concentration of measure results for the ERGM. Joint work with Shirshendu Ganguly and Ella Hiesmayr.

SUMMARY:Andreas Holmsen\, A colorful version of the Goodman-Pollack-Wenger transversal theorem
DESCRIPTION:Hadwiger’s transversal theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a line transversal to a family of pairwise disjoint convex sets in the plane. These conditions were subsequently generalized to hyperplane transversals in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by Goodman\, Pollack\, and Wenger. Here we establish a colorful extension of their theorem\, which proves a conjecture of Arocha\, Bracho\, and Montejano. The proof uses topological methods\, in particular the Borsuk-Ulam theorem. The same methods also allow us to generalize some colorful transversal theorems of Montejano and Karasev.

SUMMARY:Jan Kurkofka\, Canonical Graph Decompositions via Coverings
DESCRIPTION:We present a canonical way to decompose finite graphs into highly connected local parts. The decomposition depends only on an integer parameter whose choice sets the intended degree of locality. The global structure of the graph\, as determined by the relative position of these parts\, is described by a coarser model. This is a simpler graph determined entirely by the decomposition\, not imposed. \nThe model and decomposition are obtained as projections of the tangle-tree structure of a covering of the given graph that reflects its local structure at the intended level of locality while unfolding its global structure. \nOur theorem extends to locally finite quasi-transitive graphs and in particular to locally finite Cayley graphs. It thereby offers a canonical decomposition theorem for finitely generated groups into local parts\, whose relative structure is displayed by a graph. \nJoint work with Reinhard Diestel\, Raphael W. Jacobs and Paul Knappe.

SUMMARY:Gil Kalai\, The Cascade Conjecture and other Helly-type Problems
DESCRIPTION:[Colloquium\, Department of Mathematical Sciences\, KAIST] \nFor a set $X$ of points $x(1)$\, $x(2)$\, $\ldots$\, $x(n)$ in some real vector space $V$ we denote by $T(X\,r)$ the set of points in $X$ that belong to the convex hulls of r pairwise disjoint subsets of $X$.\nWe let $t(X\,r)=1+\dim(T(X\,r))$. \nRadon’s theorem asserts that\nIf $t(X\,1)< |X|$\, then $t(X\, 2) >0$. \nThe first open case of the cascade conjecture asserts that\nIf $t(X\,1)+t(X\,2) < |X|$\, then $t(X\,3) >0$. \nIn the lecture\, I will discuss connections with topology and with various problems in graph theory. I will also mention questions regarding dimensions of intersection of convex sets. \nSome related material:\n1) A lecture (from 1999): An invitation to Tverberg Theorem: https://youtu.be/Wjg1_QwjUos\n2) A paper on Helly type problems by Barany and me https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.08804\n3) A link to Barany’s book: Combinatorial convexity https://www.amazon.com/Combinatorial-Convexity-University-Lecture-77/dp/1470467097

SUMMARY:Stijn Cambie\, The precise diameter of reconfiguration graphs
DESCRIPTION:Reconfiguration is about changing instances in small steps. For example\, one can perform certain moves on a Rubik’s cube\, each of them changing its configuration a bit. In this case\, in at most 20 steps\, one can end up with the preferred result. One could construct a graph with as nodes the possible configurations of the Rubik’s cube (up to some isomorphism) and connect two nodes if one can be obtained by applying only one move to the other. Finding an optimal solution\, i.e. a minimum number of moves to solve a Rubik’s cube is now equivalent to finding the distance in the graph. \nWe will wonder about similar problems in reconfiguration\, but applied to list- and DP-colouring. In this case\, the small step consists of recolouring precisely one vertex. Now we will be interested in the diameter of the reconfiguration graph and show that sometimes we can determine the precise diameters of these. \nAs such\, during this talk\, we present some main ideas of [arXiv:2204.07928].

SUMMARY:Sebastian Siebertz\, Transducing paths in graph classes with unbounded shrubdepth
DESCRIPTION:Transductions are a general formalism for expressing transformations of graphs (and more generally\, of relational structures) in logic. We prove that a graph class C can be FO-transduced from a class of bounded-height trees (that is\, has bounded shrubdepth) if\, and only if\, from C one cannot FO-transduce the class of all paths. This establishes one of the three remaining open questions posed by Blumensath and Courcelle about the MSO-transduction quasi-order\, even in the stronger form that concerns FO-transductions instead of MSO-transductions. \nThe backbone of our proof is a graph-theoretic statement that says the following: If a graph G excludes a path\, the bipartite complement of a path\, and a half-graph as semi-induced subgraphs\, then the vertex set of G can be partitioned into a bounded number of parts so that every part induces a cograph of bounded height\, and every pair of parts semi-induce a bi-cograph of bounded height. This statement may be of independent interest; for instance\, it implies that the graphs in question form a class that is linearly chi-bounded. \nThis is joint work with Patrice Ossona de Mendez and Michał Pilipczuk.

SUMMARY:Hongseok Yang (양홍석)\, Learning Symmetric Rules with SATNet
DESCRIPTION:SATNet is a differentiable constraint solver with a custom backpropagation algorithm\, which can be used as a layer in a deep-learning system. It is a promising proposal for bridging deep learning and logical reasoning. In fact\, SATNet has been successfully applied to learn\, among others\, the rules of a complex logical puzzle\, such as Sudoku\, just from input and output pairs where inputs are given as images. In this paper\, we show how to improve the learning of SATNet by exploiting symmetries in the target rules of a given but unknown logical puzzle or more generally a logical formula. We present SymSATNet\, a variant of SATNet that translates the given symmetries of the target rules to a condition on the parameters of SATNet and requires that the parameters should have a particular parametric form that guarantees the condition. The requirement dramatically reduces the number of parameters to learn for the rules with enough symmetries\, and makes the parameter learning of SymSATNet much easier than that of SATNet. We also describe a technique for automatically discovering symmetries of the target rules from examples. Our experiments with Sudoku and Rubik’s cube show the substantial improvement of SymSATNet over the baseline SATNet. \nThis is joint work with Sangho Lim and Eungyeol Oh.
