Algebraic Graph Theory - Chris Godsil

Title: Similarities of adjacency matrices

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

Abstract: We will consider similarities of adjacency matrices of graphs over finite fields, instead of the reals.

Thursday, January 21, 2016 3:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Algebraic Graph Theory - Krystal Guo

Title: Generalized quadrangles VI: flocks

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

Abstract: We will look at linear and non-linear flocks. We will give constructions of generalized quadrangles arising from flocks of cones in $PG(3,q)$. Please note that the seminar starts at 3 pm.

Graph Theory Seminar - Iain Moffatt

Title: The Tutte polynomial and its extensions

Speaker: Iain Moffatt
Affiliation: University of London
Room: MC 5417 CHANGED TO MC 6486

Abstract: The Tutte polynomial is one of the most important and most studied graph polynomials. It is important not only because it encodes a large amount of combinatorial information about a graph, but also because of its applications to areas such as statistical physics and knot theory.
