Title: Asymmetric Latin squares, Steiner triple systems, and 1-factorizations
| Speaker: | Nathan Lindzey |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract:
We outline how the Van der Waerden permanent theorem can be used to show that almost all Latin squares, Steiner triple systems, and 1-factorizations of the complete graph admit only trivial automorphisms. This observation is due to Peter Cameron.
