Title: The matroid secretary problem for minor-closed classes

Title: Recognizing frame matroids

Title: The mathematics of juggling

Abstract: Siteswap is a mathematical notation for juggling patterns that is
natural, simple, and useful in practice. I will be presenting an overview of
this topic and its connections with other areas of mathematics. There will be demonstrations!

Title: Gallai's path decomposition conjecture

Title: Representation stability for the cohomology of arrangements

Title: Arc-transtive cubic graphs

Abstract: We will look at a classical result of Tutte in his seminal paper "A Family of Cubic Graphs"; every cubic arc-transitive graph is s-arc-regular for some s between 1 and 5.

Title: Presenting a tangle

Abstract: A tangle of order $k$ in a matroid is an abstract notion that describes a “$k$-connected component” of a matroid. Tangles are very useful in theoretical applications, but in practice they suffer from being difficult to describe succinctly. In this talk we try to address that issue and present some negative results.

Title: Traveling Salesman Problems

Abstract: We discuss recent work and open research questions surrounding the traveling salesman problem.  The focus will be on topics having potential impact on the computational solution of large-scale NP-hard problems.

Title: Parallel algorithms for perfect matchings

Abstract:
