From February 10 to 12, 2025, the second week of the IBS-DIMAG Winter School on Graph Minors took place at IBS. This week, Maximilian Gorsky from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group gave lectures on classifying society using a structure called transaction meshes.
On February 11, 2025, Jungho Ahn (안정호) from KIAS gave a talk on the Erdős-Pósa property for the induced packing of cycles at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “A coarse Erdős-Pósa theorem for constrained cycles“.
The IBS-DIMAG Winter School on Graph Minors is taking place at IBS every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday over a three-week period, beginning on February 3, 2025. Sebastian Wiederrecht (KAIST) and Maximilian Gorsky (IBS Discrete Mathematics Group) are giving lectures. In the first week, the topics covered included the two-paths theorem, the flat wall theorem, and various results on societies, transactions, and vortices.
On February 4, 2025, Jang Soo Kim (김장수) from Sungkyunkwan University gave a talk on the maximum of the minimum number of generators to represent an element in a monoid of functions on a fixed finite set and its connection to the minimum feedback arc set of a tournament at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk was “Longest elements in a semigroup of functions and Slater indices“.
On January 21, 2025, Laure Morelle from the LIRMM gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the parameterized complexity of modifying a graph into a minor-closed class of graphs. The title of her talk was “Bounded size modifications in time $2^{poly(k)} n^2$“.
