Public Lecture: The hat, the turtle and the spectre
Come hear about the recent solution to a longstanding unsolved problem in geometry: it is possible for a single shape to tile the plane without any sort of repeating pattern? The “hat”, it turns out, solves this problem. It’s the first known aperiodic monotile, also known as an "Einstein". In this public lecture, Craig Kaplan from the University of Waterloo (a member of the collaboration that discovered the "hat"), will talk about some background concepts from tiling theory and the…

Established in 2018, the annual International Conference on Applied Category Theory brings together researchers, programmers, scientists and industry who seek to apply the foundational field of category theory to fields outside of mathematics. The ACT Adjoint School is annual research school adjoining the conference. The research school is aimed at fostering an open-hearted and open-minded environment where new applied category theorists develop the skills of research, welcoming new researchers into cutting-edge research programs in applied category theory, and to grow…

Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
Time: 3.30pm, Atlantic time, Wednesday Sept.20 Speaker: Jessica McDonald, Auburn University Title: On flows (and group-connectivity) in signed graphs Abstract: In this talk we'll start by discussing flows in signed graphs and how it generalizes the usual notion of integer flows in graphs. In particular, flow-colouring duality of graphs in the plane can be re-interpreted using signed graphs in the projective plane. Also, where a flow in a graph can be viewed as a sum of flows on cycles, in…

Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
Speaker: Iain Beaton, Acadia University Title: On the Unimodality of Nearly-Well Dominated Trees Abstract: A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph G is the generating function of the number of dominating sets of each cardinality in G, and its coefficients have been conjectured to be unimodal. In this talk we will show the domination polynomial of a tree T is unimodal so long as the sizes of the minimal…

The purpose of this event is to establish and enhance research networks among women and female identifying mathematicians who work in the areas of mathematics related to commutative algebra. It will be the second of its kind. The first one (Banff 2019) was an amazing success, with many of the groups still working together. It has led to a strong network that besides research, provides visibility for women and many opportunities for professional development. It has also served as an…

Two short talks by grad students Alex Clow and William Kellough. 'Live' viewing in Chase 227 for those at Dalhousie. Talk 1: Alex Clow, Simon Fraser University Polynomially Bounding the Oriented Chromatic Number in Euler Genus In this talk we consider the oriented chromatic number of graphs with bounded Euler genus. In particular, we present our proofs that the oriented chromatic number is at most $g^{6400}$ for sufficiently large $g$ and at least $\Omega((\frac{g^2}{\log g})^{1/3})$. This is a major improvement…
