Ruth Luo, Induced Turán problems for hypergraphs

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $\mathcal H$ is an induced Berge $F$ if there exists a bijective mapping $f$ from the edges of $F$ to the hyperedges of $\mathcal H$ such that for all $xy \in E(F)$, $f(xy) \cap V(F) = \{x,y\}$. In this talk, we show asymptotics for the maximum number of

Frédéric Meunier, Topological bounds for graph representations over any field

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Haviv (European Journal of Combinatorics, 2019) has recently proved that some topological lower bounds on the chromatic number of graphs are also lower bounds on their orthogonality dimension over $\mathbb {R}$. We show that this holds actually for all known topological lower bounds and all fields. We also improve the topological bound he obtained for

Jakub Gajarský, First-order interpretations of bounded expansion classes

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter tractable over such graph classes. With the aim of generalizing such results to dense graphs, we introduce classes of graphs with structurally bounded expansion, defined as first-order interpretations of

Hong Liu, A proof of Mader’s conjecture on large clique subdivisions in $C_4$-free graphs

Room 1401, Bldg. E6-1, KAIST

Given any integers $s,t\geq 2$, we show there exists some $c=c(s,t)>0$ such that any $K_{s,t}$-free graph with average degree $d$ contains a subdivision of a clique with at least $cd^{\frac{1}{2}\frac{s}{s-1}}$ vertices. In particular, when $s=2$ this resolves in a strong sense the conjecture of Mader in 1999 that every $C_4$-free graph has a subdivision of

Attila Joó, Base partition for finitary-cofinitary matroid families

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Let ${\mathcal{M} = (M_i \colon i\in K)}$ be a finite or infinite family consisting of finitary and cofinitary matroids on a common ground set $E$. We prove the following Cantor-Bernstein-type result: if $E$ can be covered by sets ${(B_i \colon i\in K)}$ which are bases in the corresponding matroids and there are also pairwise disjoint

Jaiung Jun (전재웅), The Hall algebra of the category of matroids

Room 1401, Bldg. E6-1, KAIST

To an abelian category A satisfying certain finiteness conditions, one can associate an algebra H_A (the Hall algebra of A) which encodes the structures of the space of extensions between objects in A. For a non-additive setting, Dyckerhoff and Kapranov introduced the notion of proto-exact categories, as a non-additive generalization of an exact category, which

Sanjeeb Dash, Boolean decision rules via column generation

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

In many applications of machine learning, interpretable or explainable models for binary classification, such as decision trees or decision lists, are preferred over potentially more accurate but less interpretable models such as random forests or support vector machines. In this talk, we consider boolean decision rule sets (equivalent to boolean functions in disjunctive normal form)

Ben Lund, Furstenberg sets over finite fields

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

An important family of incidence problems are discrete analogs of deep questions in geometric measure theory. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the finite field Kakeya conjecture, proved by Dvir in 2008. Dvir's proof introduced the polynomial method to incidence geometry, which led to the solution to many long-standing problems in the area.

Adam Zsolt Wagner, The largest projective cube-free subsets of $Z_{2^n}$

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

What is the largest subset of $Z_{2^n}$ that doesn't contain a projective d-cube? In the Boolean lattice, Sperner's, Erdos's, Kleitman's and Samotij's theorems state that families that do not contain many chains must have a very specific layered structure. We show that if instead of $Z_2^n$ we work in $Z_{2^n}$, analogous statements hold if one

Dillon Mayhew, Courcelle’s Theorem for hypergraphs

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Courcelle's Theorem is an influential meta-theorem published in 1990. It tells us that a property of graph can be tested in polynomial time, as long as the property can expressed in the monadic second-order logic of graphs, and as long as the input is restricted to a class of graphs with bounded tree-width. There are
