• Ron Aharoni, A strong version of the Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture

    Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

    The Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture, one of the best known in graph theory, is that in a digraph with $n$ vertices in which all outdegrees are at least $n/k$ there is a directed cycle of length at most $k$. This is known for  large values of $k$, relatively to n, and asymptotically for n large. A few

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    For given $k$ graphs $G_1,\dots, G_k$ over a common vertex set of size $n$, what conditions on $G_i$ ensures a 'colorful' copy of $H$, i.e. a copy of $H$ containing at most one edge from each $G_i$? Keevash, Saks, Sudakov, and Verstraëte defined $\operatorname{ex}_k(n,H)$ to be the maximum total number of edges of the graphs

    Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

    Graph Minor project by Robertson and Seymour is perhaps the deepest theory in Graph Theory. It gives a deep structural characterization of graphs without any graph $H$ as a minor. It also gives many exciting algorithmic consequences. In this work, I would like to talk about our attempt to extend Graph minor project to directed

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    In a reduction sequence of a graph, vertices are successively identified until the graph has one vertex. At each step, when identifying $u$ and $v$, each edge incident to exactly one of $u$ and $v$ is coloured red. Bonnet, Kim, Thomassé, and Watrigant defined the twin-width of a graph $G$ to be the minimum integer

  • Bo Ning (宁博), Substructures and eigenvalues of graphs: Triangles and quadrilaterals

    Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

    Our talk will mainly focus on the relationship between substructures and eigenvalues of graphs. We will briefly survey recent developments on a conjecture of Bollobás and Nikiforov and a classical result of Nosal on triangles. In particular, we shall present counting results for previous spectral theorems on triangles and quadrilaterals. If time allows, we will

  • Pascal Gollin, A unified Erdős-Pósa theorem for cycles in graphs labelled by multiple abelian groups

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Erdős and Pósa proved in 1965 that there is a duality between the maximum size of a packing of cycles and the minimum size of a vertex set hitting all cycles. We therefore say that cycles satisfy the Erdős-Pósa property. However, while odd cycles do not satisfy the Erdős-Pósa property, Reed proved in 1999 an analogue by

    Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

    We prove that there is a function $f : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for every function $g : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$ with $g(1)=1$ and $g \ge f$, there is a hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ such that for each $\omega \in \mathbb{N}$, the maximum chromatic number of a graph in $\mathcal{G}$ with

  • Jinha Kim (김진하), Independent domination of graphs with bounded maximum degree

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    An independent dominating set of a graph, also known as a maximal independent set, is a set $S$ of pairwise non-adjacent vertices such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to some vertex in $S$. We prove that for $\Delta=4$ or $\Delta\ge 6$, every connected $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree at most $\Delta$ has

  • Donggyu Kim (김동규), A stronger version of Tutte’s wheel theorem for vertex-minors

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Tutte (1961) proved that every simple $3$-connected graph $G$ has an edge $e$ such that $G \setminus e$ or $G / e$ is simple $3$-connected, unless $G$ is isomorphic to a wheel. We call such an edge non-essential. Oxley and Wu (2000) proved that every simple $3$-connected graph has at least $2$ non-essential edges unless
