Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Trickle-down Theorems for High-dimensional Expanders via Lorentzian Polynomials
Jonathan Leake
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

High-dimensional expanders (HDX) are a generalization of expander graphs which have seen various applications in coding theory, PCPs, pseudorandomness, derandomization, approximate sampling, and beyond. One technique for proving a complex is an HDX...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

On Turán Numbers of Tight Cycles
Maya Sankar
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The study of Turán numbers of graphs and hypergraphs is a rich problem in extremal combinatorics. The Turán problem asks, given a fixed forbidden (hyper)graph F, what is the maximum number of edges in an F-free (hyper)graph in terms of the number of...
