Date and Time: Wednesday, October 22, 3.40 pm Atlantic time Speaker: Theodore (Teddy) Mishura, Toronto Metropolitan University Title: Liminal burning the hypercube Abstract: Liminal burning generalizes both the burning and cooling processes in graphs. In $k$-liminal burning, a Saboteur reveals $k$-sets of vertices in each round, and the Arsonist must choose sources only within these sets. The result is a two-player game with the corresponding optimization parameter $b_k$ called the $k$-liminal burning number. For $k = |V (G)|$, liminal burning is identical to…

Date and Time: Wednesday, October 29, 3.40 pm Atlantic time Speaker: Ben Moore, University of Manitoba Title: Smoothed analysis for graph isomorphism Abstract: I'll describe a simple algorithm which shows the following: Given any graph G, add or remove edges uniformly at random with probability 100/v(G) to create a graph G'. We can test in polynomial time if G' is isomorphic to any other graph H. In other words, graph isomorphism is in P if you add a little bit of randomness to the…

Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 5, 3.40 pm Atlantic time Speaker: Kalina Petrova, Institute of Science and Technology Austria Title: Cameron's conjecture on random Latin squares Abstract: A conjecture of Cameron states that the distribution of the number of odd rows in an n x n uniformly random Latin square is approximately binomial with n trials and success probability 1/2. We prove this conjecture in several different senses, including total variation convergence, a local central limit theorem, and a large deviation principle. In fact,…

Date and Time: Wednesday, November 26, 3.40 pm Atlantic time Speaker: Himanshu Gupta, University of Regina Title: On the eigenvalues of the graphs D(5, q) Abstract: In 1995, Lazebnik and Ustimenko introduced the family of q-regular graphs D(k, q), which is defined for any positive integer k and prime power q. The connected components of the graph D(k, q) have provided the bestknown general lower bound on the size of a graph for any given order and girth to this…

Session on Combinatorial Design Theory at the 2025 CMS Winter Meeting
In the 18th century, several seemingly innocuous scheduling problems were proposed, often in the form of a puzzle. These problems were ultimately solved using tools and theoretical approaches that now lie in what is known as combinatorial design theory. Since then, this area of mathematics has seen tremendous growth in the diversity of designs, constructions, and applications that it encompasses. The purpose of this session is to showcase recent results in topics such as classical designs, cycle systems, graph decompositions,…

Advanced Simulation of Mathematical Models with Data Assimilation Workshop
The AARMS CRG “Advanced Simulation of Mathematical Models with Data Assimilation” will have its first workshop January 5th and 6th, 2026. The workshop will be held in the Mathematics and Statistics department on the St. John’s campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland. This workshop will serve two purposes: provide a data assimilation and PDEs bootcamp for CRG participants and collaborators, and to plan the future activities of the CRG. The bootcamp will bring the CRG participants (from diverse backgrounds) up…
