Title: Pretty Good Fractional Revival via Magnetic Fields - theory and examples

Speaker: Gabor Lippner
Affiliation: Northeastern University
Location: Please contact Sabrina Lato for Zoom link.

Abstract: I will discuss the notion of PGFR relative to a given subset of nodes of a graph. This is a generalization of the more standard (pretty good) fractional revival between 2 nodes. In the process, I will introduce the proper generalization of cospectrality to the fractional setting, and give the appropriate extensions of methods already in use for the 2-vertex case. These include the Kronecker condition and the field-trace method. I will conclude by giving various families of examples of PGFR in the presence of (transcendental) magnetic fields.
