Title: My favorite number
Speaker: | John Baez |
Affiliation: | University of California, Riverside |
Room: | DC 1302 |
Abstract: The number 24 plays a central role in mathematics thanks to a series of "coincidences" that is just beginning to be understood. One of the first hints of this fact was Euler's bizarre "proof" that
1\^ + 2\^ + 3\^ + 4\^ + … = -1/12\^
Title: The Replication Conjecture
Speaker: | Ahmad Abdi |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 5417 |
Abstract: In 1972, Lovasz proved a key lemma that was the piece of the puzzle Fulkerson missed to prove the weak perfect graph theorem. This important lemma, called the Duplication Lemma, simply states that vertex duplication preserves graph perfection.
Title: Matroid perspectives and graph polynomials
Title: Claw decompositions of random 4-regular graphs
Title: Quantum walks and graph embeddings
Title: Trees, chord diagrams and the renormalization group equation
Speaker: | Karen Yeats |
Affiliation: | Simon Fraser University |
Room: | MC 5417 |
Abstract: How far can we get in understanding perturbative expansions in quantum field theory combinatorially?
Title: Graph representatives of positroid strata (juggling meets quantum physics)
Title: Sampling quantum states
Title: Presenting a tangle
Title: Understanding and improving convex formulations via lifted representations

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
