Jaehoon Kim (김재훈) gave a talk on a sufficient condition for a 2-complex to have a unique embedding in a 3-dimensional space, which is a 3-dimensional analog of Whitney’s theorem on the uniqueness of planar embeddings of a 3-connected graph at the Discrete Math Seminar
On November 9, 2021, Jaehoon Kim (김재훈) from KAIST gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on a 3-dimensional analog of Whitney’s theorem on the uniqueness of planar embeddings of a 3-connected graph. The title of his talk was “2-complexes with unique embeddings in 3-space“.
Jaehoon Kim (김재훈), 2-complexes with unique embeddings in 3-space
A well-known theorem of Whitney states that a 3-connected planar graph admits an essentially unique embedding into the 2-sphere. We prove a 3-dimensional analogue: a simply-connected 2-complex every link graph of which is 3-connected admits an essentially unique locally flat embedding into the 3-sphere, if it admits one at all. This can be thought of as a generalisation of the 3-dimensional Schoenflies theorem. This is joint work with Agelos Georgakopoulos.

Abstracts
Debsoumya Chakraborti, Generalized graph saturation
Graph saturation is one of the oldest areas of investigation in extremal combinatorics. A graph G is called F-saturated if G does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to F, but the addition of any edge creates a copy of F. We resolve one of the most fundamental questions of minimizing the number of cliques of size r in a
Jaehoon Kim (김재훈), Resolution of the Oberwolfach problem
The Oberwolfach problem, posed by Ringel in 1967, asks for a decomposition of
Dong Yeap Kang (강동엽), The Erdős-Faber-Lovász conjecture and related results
A hypergraph is linear if every pair of two distinct edges shares at most one vertex. A longstanding conjecture by Erdős, Faber, and Lovász in 1972, states that the chromatic index of any linear hypergraph on n vertices is at most n.
In this talk, I will present the ideas to prove the conjecture for all large n. This is joint work with Tom Kelly, Daniela Kühn, Abhishek Methuku, and Deryk Osthus.
Joonkyung Lee (이준경), Majority dynamics on sparse random graphs
Majority dynamics on a graph G is a deterministic process such that every vertex updates its {-1,1}-assignment according to the majority assignment on its neighbor simultaneously at each step. Benjamini, Chan, O’Donnell, Tamuz and Tan conjectured that, in the Erdős-Rényi random graph G(n,p), the random initial {-1,1}-assignment converges to the unanimity with high probability whenever p>> 1/n.
This conjecture was firstly confirmed for
Joint work with Debsoumya Chakraborti, Jeong Han Kim and Tuan Tran.
Hong Liu, Sublinear expanders and its applications
I will review the history of sublinear expander and present some recent applications, which lead to resolutions of several long-standing problems in sparse graphs embeddings.
Jinyoung Park (박진영), The threshold for the square of a Hamilton cycle
We will talk about a recent result of Jeff Kahn, Bhargav Narayanan, and myself stating that the threshold for the random graph G(n,p) to contain the square of a Hamilton cycle is
Jaehoon Kim (김재훈) gave a talk on a resilience version of Pósa’s theorem regarding Hamiltonian cycles at the Discrete Math Seminar
On June 23, 2020, Jaehoon Kim (김재훈) from KAIST presented his work with Padraig Condon, Alberto Espuny Diaz, Daniela Kühn and Deryk Osthus on a resilience version of Pósa’s theorem regarding a sufficient condition on the degree sequence for a graph to have a Hamiltonian cycle at the Discrete Math Seminar. The title of his talk is “A resilience version of Pósa’s theorem“.
