Title: Coloring Graphs of Bounded Maximum Degree with Small Clique Number
| Speaker: | Tom Kelly |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5479 |
Abstract: Greedy coloring yields an upper bound on the chromatic number $\chi$ of $\Delta+1$ for graphs of maximum degree at most $\Delta$, which is tight for cliques.
Title: Large matroids: asymptotic enumeration
| Speaker: | Jorn van der Pol |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
How many matroids are there on a ground set of a given size? Although the question is a very basic one, we only know the answer up to a constant factor in the exponent.

Title: The number theory of equiangular lines
| Speaker: | Jon Yard |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
It is easy to prove that there can exist at most d2 equiangular complex lines in Cd. Configurations saturating this bound are known by other names: maximal equiangular tight frames, minimal complex projective 2-designs and symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVMs).
