Title: Biased cliques

Speaker: Peter Nelson
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Location: MC 5417

Abstract: A biased clique is a collection of cycles in a complete graph G so that no theta of G contains exactly two cycles in the collection. They have interesting connections to both matroids and groups; I will give a survey of some results on these objects.
