Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

50 Years of Expansion in Groups
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I plan to survey the many ways we have today of constructing expanding Cayley graphs of finite groups, and the ideas behind their analysis (some useful beyond that purpose). I want to highlight that despite a comprehensive understanding of achieving...
