Paul Seymour gave an online talk on the recent result regarding the Erdős-Hajnal conjecture at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium

On December 30, 2020, Paul Seymour from Princeton University was the speaker of the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium. He presented his recent breakthrough on the Erdős-Hajnal conjecture with Maria Chudnovsky, Alex Scott, and Sophie Spirkl, which in particular proves that the Erdős-Hajnal conjecture holds for the cycle of length 5. The title of his talk was “The Erdős-Hajnal conjecture is true for excluding a five-cycle“.

Jinha Kim explained the recent result on the Kalai-Meshulam conjecture by Zhang and Wu at the Discrete Math Seminar

On December 22, 2020, at the Discrete Math Seminar, Jinha Kim (김진하) from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group presented the proof of the Kalai-Meshulam conjecture by Zhang and Wu, proving that for a graph G, the total Betti number of the independence complex of every induced subgraph of G is at most 1 if and only if G has no induced cycle of length 0 mod 3. The title of her talk was “On a conjecture by Kalai and Meshulam – the Betti number of the independence complex of ternary graphs“.

Deniz Sarikaya presented results on necessary conditions for locally finite graphs to have a Hamiltonian cycle at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium

On December 3, 2020, Deniz Sarikaya from Universität Hamburg gave an online talk about necessary conditions for locally finite graphs to have a Hamiltonian cycle in terms of their forbidden induced subgraphs. The title of his talk was “What means Hamiltonicity for infinite graphs and how to force it via forbidden induced subgraphs“.
