Quantum State Transfer on Graphs
January 13, 2022
Online
Quantum computing is believed to provide many advantages over traditional computing, particularly considering the speed at which computations can be performed. One of the challenges that needs to be resolved in order to construct a quantum computer...

Abstract: Motivated by biological questions related to DNA packing and the movement of molecules through channels, it is of interest to determine whether a specific knot or link type can be realized in a confined volume. In this talk, we will discuss...

Abstract: In non-equivariant topology, the ordinary homology of a point is described by the dimension axiom and is quite simple – namely, it is concentrated in degree zero. The situation in G-equivariant topology is different. This is due to the fact...

The idea behind Grothendieck-Teichmüller theory is to study the absolute Galois group via its actions on (the collection of all) moduli spaces of genus g curves. In practice, this is often done by studying an intermediate object: The Grothendieck...

The Erdos-Hajnal conjecture states that for every graph H there exists c > 0 such that every n-vertex graph G either contains H as an induced subgraph, or has a clique or stable set of size at least n^c. I will talk about a proof of this conjecture...
