SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Title: How do we use graphs to transmit quantum information? \nTime: 3.30pm\, Atlantic time\, (1:30\, CDT) Wednesday Sept. 18 \nSpeaker: Hermie Monterde\, University of Manitoba \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, a graph $G$ represents a quantum spin network (a networking of interacting subatomic particles). The vertices and edges of $G$ represent the particles and their interactions in the network. Consider the complex unitary matrix $U(t)=\exp(itA)$\, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$\, $i^2=-1$ and $t$ is a real number. The propagation of quantum states in the quantum system determined by $G$ is governed by the matrix $U(t)$. In particular\, $|U(t)_{u\,v}|^2$ may be interpreted as the probability that the quantum state assigned at vertex $u$ is transmitted to vertex $v$ at time $t$. In this talk\, we give an overview of the study of quantum state transfer in graphs. We discuss old and new results in this area with emphasis on the concepts and techniques borrowed from graph theory and linear algebra. \n\nZoom link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1

SUMMARY:Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences 2024
DESCRIPTION:Objectives: The mathematical institutes in Canada have joined forces to offer annual summer schools geared toward women and underrepresented groups in mathematics and related sciences. The first school will be at Dalhousie University in Summer 2024. \nThe goals of the summer school are two-fold. First\, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second\, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra\, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment\, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school. \nSynopsis: The main tools to study zero sets of polynomials using algebraic tools come from Commutative Algebra. When the polynomials have only one term – monomials – one can use methods from combinatorics\, topology\, linear programing and more to study their algebraic properties. The development of such techniques\, going back to the 1960’s and still a vibrant area of research today\, is the focus of the field of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. \nOur school will introduce some of these ideas to the participants via concrete examples and problems. We will cover topics including: edge ideals of graphs\, Hilbert functions\, computational commutative algebra and discrete homotopy theory. \nThe school will also include panels\, discussions of graduate school\, academic and nonacademic jobs and issues facing women in mathematics in general. We will have morning lectures\, afternoon tutorials and mini-topics. \nWe are seeking applications from female and female-identifying students who have finished at least two years of an undergraduate degree in the mathematical sciences. \nRequired background: Applicants having successfully completed a Honour’s-level proof-based course in linear algebra will be given full consideration. A third-year course in algebra covering rings and ideals will be considered an asset. \nApplicants should submit transcripts\, and arrange for a letter of recommendation addressing their potential to benefit from this school. \nFunding: The Summer School will cover room and board as well as travel expenses for all participants.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School 2024
DESCRIPTION:Topological Quantum Field Theory lives at the intersection of category theory\, algebraic topology\, representation theory\, and theoretical physics. Physically\, TQFTs describe and control the symmetries of quantum systems\, including quantum symmetries\, anomalous symmetries\, and higher-form symmetries. Mathematically\, TQFTs provide a dictionary between manifold topology and structures in representation theory\, and as such allow computations and results to move between these separate fields. This school\, aimed at early- to mid-career graduate students\, will consist of three 5-hour minicourses related to TQFTs\, plus problem sessions and discussion time. Students are expected to be familiar with the basic language of category theory\, but are not expected to have any specialized knowledge in the field.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Induced subgraphs and treewidth\nSpeaker: Sophie Spirkl\, University of Waterloo\nAbstract: Treewidth is a measure of the complexity of a graph and has both structural and algorithmic consequences. While results of Robertson and Seymour characterize which minors appear in graphs of large treewidth\, the same question is still open for induced subgraphs. I will present some recent results towards an answer to this question\, in particular\, about when excluding a finite set of induced subgraphs leads to the answer being “what we expect”. Joint work with Bogdan Alecu\, Maria Chudnovsky\, and Sepehr Hajebi. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547\n\n\nLive viewing with refreshments in Chase 227\, Dalhousie University (bring your own mug for tea.)

SUMMARY:2024 Integration Competition
DESCRIPTION:The Integration Competition (held 4 times in the past at this university\, funded by AARMS)\, is a head-to-head competition\, in which all first-year calculus students are eligible to compete. Integrals of increasing difficulty are projected\, and two students work head to head\, to solve it first. The winner moves on\, and the other student is eliminated. This process moves through successive rounds until only 2 students are left\, solving a challenging problem in integration. This generates excitement about mathematics among first year students\, aids in recruitment of students to the mathematics major program\, and provides motivation for students to engage more deeply with the curriculum in first-year calculus. This event will also serve as an outreach opportunity to connect first-year students with upper-year students\, and to discuss opportunities available to math students.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Pursuit-evasion on Graphs\nTrent Marbach\, Toronto Metropolitan University \nThe study of pursuit-evasion on graphs looks at games played between two adversaries\, with one player tasked with alluding capture from the other on the graph. We will describe these types of games in general\, although we will take a particular focus on two games: the Cops and Robber game\, and the Localization game. A famous open conjecture for the Cops and Robber game has spurred recent work in the area\, and we show how this work connects to various graph theory topics\, including isoperimetry\, network search\, and width parameters. We will also provide some new applications that have resulted from this work. \nLive viewing at Dalhousie in Chase 227 (bring your own mug for tea). \n——————————\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547

SUMMARY:AARMS Seminar: EDI in STEM with Dr. Lisa Willis
DESCRIPTION:While EDI has become an often referred to issue in academia and society\, it remains a challenging topic to discuss\, especially for people in STEM fields. Fear of making a mistake or not knowing what to say results in people disengaging from the conversation. Additionally\, the multitude of initiatives and obligations in the EDI space\, few of which seem to be making a real difference\, is leading to EDI fatigue. In this talk\, we will discuss how we as imperfect people can create meaningful sustainable change for ourselves and for the people around us. \nDr. Willis received her B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Victoria and Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology in the lab of Dr. Chris Whitfield at the University of Guelph. She did her postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Mark Nitz in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto\, where she received the prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. In 2019\, she started as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta\, where she is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. She is also the founder of InclusiveSTEM\, a literature-based and data-driven framework for improving the participation and lived experiences of people from marginalized groups in STEM. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83234913058?pwd=SFRHcS9SUGpXT09ueHUzY0h6SFpzdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 832 3491 3058 \nPasscode: 721065

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ada Chan\, York University\nTitle: Polygamy in state transferAbstract:Let $X$ be a graph and $H$ be a Hermitian matrix associated with $X$.   The continuous-time quantum walk with Hamiltonian $H$ isdefined by the time-dependent unitary matrix\begin{equation*}U(t)=e^{i t H}.\end{equation*}Perfect state transfer occurs from vertex $a$ to vertex $b$ at time $\tau$ is $\vert U(\tau)_{b\,a}\vert = 1$.   This phenomenon is relevant for information transmission in a quantum spin network.   For real and symmetric Hamiltonians\, it is known that perfect state transfer can occur from a vertex to at most one other vertex\,mand that graphs with perfect state transfer are rare.    A relaxation\, called pretty good state transfer\, occurs from $a$ to $b$ if $\vert U(\tau)_{b\,a}\vert$ gets arbitrarily close one.  Pal and Bhattacharjya discover a graph with four vertices admitting pairwise pretty good state transfer. In this talk\, we present a family of graphs that admit pairwise pretty good state transfer in an arbitrarily large set of vertices. We compare this polygamous behaviour to walks with Hamiltonians that contain non-real entries.\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Beveridge\, Macalester College\nTitle: Approval Ballot Triangles\nTime: Wednesday\, February 14\, 3.30pm Atlantic time\nLive viewing for local participants in Chase 227\, Dalhousie University\n \nBertrand’s Ballot Problem enumerates the number of ways to count ballots so that candidate 1 never trails candidate 2. We generalize this problem by considering an approval ballot election between $n$ candidates. In an approval ballot election\, each voter endorses a subset of candidates\, rather than voting for just one person. The general approval ballot problem becomes: how many ways can the ballots be counted so that candidate $k$ never trails candidate $k+1$? This formulation yields a family of binary triangular arrays\, called approval ballot triangles (ABTs)\, that are in bijection with totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions. We show that ABTs unify three different TSSCPP families of triangular arrays. We then further the connection between TSSCPPs and ballot problems by giving a decomposition of a strict-sense ballot into a list of sequentially compatible ABTs\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n \nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547

DESCRIPTION:Zoom link below. Live viewing for local participants in Chase 227 (tea-drinkers are encouraged to bring their own mug).\n \nSpeaker: Evelyn Smith-Roberge\, Georgia Tech\nTitle:Correspondence Packings of Planar Graphs\n \nAbstract: Suppose a graph G has list chromatic number k. It is easy to see that if L is a (k+1)-list assignment for G\, then G admits two L-colourings f and g where f(v) =/= g(v) for every vertex v in the graph. But what if we want still more disjoint L-colourings without making our lists too big? In this talk\, I will discuss recent progress towards determining the list packing number of various classes of planar graphs: that is\, the smallest number k such that if L is a k-list assignment for an arbitrary graph G in the class under study\, then L can be decomposed into k disjoint L-colourings. All results I will discuss also hold in the correspondence colouring framework. Joint work with Daniel Cranston.\n \nJoin ZOOM Meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Thiago de Holleben\, Dalhousie University\nTitle: Homological invariants of graphs with no induced cycles of length divisible by 3\n \nAbstract:  If G is a graph with large chromatic number\, what can we say about its induced subgraphs? In 2014\, Bonamy et al. showed that if a graph has no induced cycles of length divisible by three\, then its chromatic number is bounded. Such graphs are called ternary.\nIn an attempt to better understand the structure of the induced subgraphs of a graph with bounded chromatic number\, Kalai and Meshulam posed questions relating topological invariants of the independence complex\, and the chromatic number of a graph. Since then\, there have been several results bounding chromatic numbers of graphs using topology. In 2022\, Jinha Kim showed a conjecture of Engström stating the exact topological structure of the independence complex of a ternary graph. In this talk\, we describe a graph theoretic way of computing this structure. As an application\, we show that -1 is a root of the independence polynomial of a forest F if and only if the induced matching number of F is not equal to the domination number of F.\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\n\nMeeting ID: 864 1523 0827\nPasscode: 835547
