Seminar - Christiane Sato

Counting Connected Uniform Hypergraphs

Speaker: Christiane Sato
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5158

Abstract:

In this talk, we will present an asymptotic result about the number of connected 3-uniform hypergraphs with n vertices and m edges. We will discuss the range m=n/2+o(n).

Tutte seminar - Jane Gao

Solution geometry of a random k-XORSAT near the clustering threshold

Speaker: Jane Gao
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5158

Abstract

Since the early 2000s statistical physicists have predicted, using a non-rigorous technique called the "cavity method", that the solution spaces of many random constraint satisfiability problems (CSPs) and combinatorial problems have

Seminar - algebraic graph theory

University theorem for polynomial invartiants on ribbon graphs with flags.

Speaker: Avohou Remi Cocou
Affiliation: University d'Abomey Calavi
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5136

Abstract:

In my presentation, I will recall the Bollobas-Riordan polynomial
for ribbon graphs and its universality property. This polynomial finds

Tutte seminar - Alan Sokal

Some wonderful conjectures (but very few theorems) at the boundary between analysis, combinatorics and probability

Speaker: Andrew Childs
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5158

Many problems in combinatorics, statistical mechanics, number theory and analysis give rise to power series (whether formal or convergent) of the form $$ f(x,y) \;=\; \sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty a_n(y) \,

Seminar - Nishad Kothari

Ear-decompositions of nonbipartite matching-covered graphs

Speaker: Nishad Kothari
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5168

Abstract: 

A connected graph is called matching-covered if each edge lies in a perfect matching.

Seminar - algebraic graph theory

Linear Cayley Graphs, Codes and Geometry

Speaker: Mario Huang
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5136

Abstract: 

Let $D$ be a set of nonzero vectors in $GF(q)^k$ that is closed under multiplications by nonzero scalars.

Post-quantum Cryptography - Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems

Speaker: Jintai Ding
Affiliation: University of Cincinnati
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5158

Abstract:

Public key cryptosystems are an indispensable part of the foundation of our modern communication system. The systems in practical applications are RSA, DSA, ECDSA and similar cryptosystems.

Seminar - Gabor Lippner

Measurable Graph Theory

Speaker: Gabor Lippner
Affiliation: Harvard University
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 5168

Abstract: 

Measurable graph theory is the study of measure preserving group actions from a graph theoretic point of view. It is an exciting new direction that combines discrete mathematics with analysis and ergodic theory.
