On September 17, 2020, Luke Postle from the University of Waterloo gave an online talk about his recent (another) breakthrough towards Hadwiger’s conjecture. The title of his talk was “Further progress towards Hadwiger’s conjecture“.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Prof. Heesung Shin (신희성) from Inha University, Incheon, Korea. He will visit the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group for 1 year until August 31, 2021 during his sabbatical leave from Inha University. He received his Ph.D. from KAIST under the supervision of Prof. Dongsu Kim. He was a postdoctoral researcher at CNRS and a research assistant professor at POSTECH.

On September 15, 2020, Debsoumya Chakraborti from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group presented a talk on the extremal problem on the number of cliques in a graph of small maximum degree with a fixed number of edges. The title of his talk was “Maximum number of cliques in a graph with bounded maximum degree“.
On September 10, 2020, Sebastian Siebertz from University of Bremen gave an online talk about recent attempts to combine the model theory to the theory of dense graphs at the Virtual Discrete Math Colloquium. The title of his talk was “Rank-width meets stability“.
On September 8, 2020, Rutger Campbell from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group presented a talk on various results on the real representability of matroids at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “Disasters in abstracting combinatorial properties of linear dependence“.
On August 31 and September 1, 2020, Junguk Lee (이정욱) from KAIST gave a 6-hour-long talk on the model theory with the focus on the stability, NIP, and the VC dimension at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “a quick introduction to stability and NIP”.
