Matroid Theory Seminar - Jim Geelen

Title:  Spikes

Speaker: Jim Geelen
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: This talk will be a tutorial on spikes.  From a structural point of view it is hard to imagine a more benign class of matroids. However, everything goes wrong for spikes.

Algebraic Graph Theory - Krystal Guo

Title: Generalized quadrangles IV: classical families

Speaker: Krystal Guo
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: This week, we continue with our learning series on generalized quadrangles. We will give several classical constructions for generalized quadrangles.

Algebraic Graph Theory - Chris Godsil

Title: Quantum walks III: strongly cospectral vertices

Speaker: Chris Godsil
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: This week, we continue with our learning series on quantum  
walks. We will look at strongly cospectral vertices.

Matroid Theory Seminar - Peter Nelson

Title: Matroids with a spanning clique

Speaker: Peter Nelson
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: I will discuss a recent result on the structure of matroids that are spanned by the cycle matroid of a complete graph, and also put the result in the wider context of matroid structure theory for minor-closed classes.

Algebraic Graph Theory - Krystal Guo

Title: Generalized quadrangles V: GQs and quantum walks

Speaker: Krystal Guo
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: MC 6486

Abstract: We will give another classical construction for generalized quadrangles. We will then explain a connection between quantum walks and generalized quadrangles.
