Consider the following hat guessing game: $n$ players are placed on $n$ vertices of a graph, each wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to …
A theoretical dynamical system is a pair (X,T) where X is a compact metric space and T is a self homeomorphism of X. The topological entropy of a theoretical dynamical system (X,T), first introduced in 1965 by Adler, Konheim and McAndrew, is a nonnegative real number that measures the complexity of the system. Systems with positive …
The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture by Karoński, Łuczak and Thomason states that the edges of any connected graph with at least three vertices can be assigned weights 1, 2 or 3 so that for each edge $uv$ the sums of the weights at $u$ and at $v$ are distinct. The list version of the 1-2-3 Conjecture …

In a rainbow variant of the Turán problem, we consider $k$ graphs on the same set of vertices and want to determine the smallest possible number of edges in each graph, which guarantees the existence of a copy of a given graph $F$ containing at most one edge from each graph. In other words, we …
A loose cycle is a cyclic ordering of edges such that every two consecutive edges share exactly one vertex. A cycle is Hamilton if it spans all vertices. A codegree of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is the minimum nonnegative integer $t$ such that every subset of vertices of size $k-1$ is contained in $t$ distinct edges. …
Ramsey's Theorem guarantees for every graph H that any 2-edge-coloring of a sufficiently large complete graph contains a monochromatic copy of H. As probabilistic constructions often provide good bounds on quantities in extremal combinatorics, we say that a graph H is common if the random 2-edge-coloring asymptotically minimizes the number of monochromatic copies of H. …
2023 Mini-Workshop on Discrete Geometry will be held on August 9th at Room B332, Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The workshop consists of three presentations on recent results and an open problem session. Researchers who are highly interested in this field are welcome to attend. Tentative schedule 10:00-10:50 Michael Dobbins (SUNY …
How can one arrange a collection of convex sets in d-dimensional Euclidean space? This guiding question is fundamental in discrete geometry, and can be made concrete in a variety of ways, for example the study of hyperplane arrangements, embeddability of simplicial complexes, Helly-type theorems, and more. This talk will focus on the classical topic of d-representable …
An oriented graph is a digraph that does not contain a directed cycle of length two. An (oriented) graph $D$ is $H$-free if $D$ does not contain $H$ as an induced sub(di)graph. The Gyárfás-Sumner conjecture is a widely-open conjecture on simple graphs, which states that for any forest $F$, there is some function $f$ such …
