On August 14, 2024, Peter Nelson from the University of Waterloo gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on formalizing the matroid theory on LEAN at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “Formalizing matroid theory in a proof assistant“.
The 2024 summer school was held at IBS for two weeks, from July 29 to August 9, 2024. It was organized by the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group and featured lectures by Boris Bukh from Carnegie Mellon University and Tung Nguyen from Princeton University.
On August 6, 2024, Daniel Král’ from Masaryk University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the minor closures of depth parameters of matroids. The title of his talk was “Matroid depth and width parameters“.
The 2024 Korean Student Combinatorics Workshop (KSCW2024, 2024 조합론 학생 워크샵) was held in Gongju from July 29 to August 2, 2024. Sponsored by the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group, this event aims to provide a platform for Korean graduate students working on combinatorics and related areas to establish a foundation for collaborative research. It was organized by four students of KAIST/IBS: Donggyu Kim (김동규), Seokbeom Kim (김석범), Seonghyuk Im (임성혁), and Hyunwoo Lee (이현우). The workshop featured two invited talks by Semin Yoo (유세민) and Jungho Ahn (안정호), as well as open problem sessions followed by ample time for joint work.
