Symmetries of structures of positive (semi)definite matrices

2019-09-04 11:00–12:00 FAMNIT-MP7 Lajos Molnar (University of Szeged, and Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary) Symmetries of structures of positive (semi)definite matrices In this talk we survey the results of our recent research on the ‘symmetries’ of different structures…

Universal trees and parity games

2019-07-23 10:00–11:00 FAMNIT-MP1 Michael Vyalyi (National Research University – Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia) Universal trees and parity games Starting from 2017, several quasi-polynomial algorithms for solving parity games were suggested. Using universal ordered trees and automata separation approach…

Shellings from relative shellings, with application to NP-completeness

2019-06-10 10:00–11:00 FAMNIT-MP5 Andrés David Santamaría-Galvis (University of Primorska) Shellings from relative shellings, with application to NP-completeness A simplicial complex is shellable if it exhibits a well-behaved ordering of its maximal faces (a shelling) constructed in some precise way.Shellings have been proven useful, but they…

Stamping through Mathematics

2019-06-05 10:00–11:00 FAMNIT-MP2 Robin Wilson (Open University, United Kingdom) Stamping through Mathematics In this talk I cover the entire history of mathematics in one hour, from earliest times to the modern age, illustrating the narrative with about 300 attractive (and…

Reputation and (Dis)honesty: A game-theoretic approach

2019-06-03 10:00–11:00 FAMNIT-MP1 Žiga Velkavrh (University of Primorska) Reputation and (Dis)honesty: A game-theoretic approach In the first part of this talk we introduce Game Theory, its solution concepts and applications. We then discuss the limits of classical game-theoretic predictions and…

Binary Completely Transitive Codes

2019-05-20 10:00–11:00 FAMNIT-MP1 Daniel Hawtin (University of Rijeka, Croatia) Binary Completely Transitive Codes Given a code in a graph, the vertex set of the graph may be partitioned by the sets of vertices at each of the possible distances to…

Axial torsion waves in metric-affine gravity

2019-05-16 11:00–12:00 FAMNIT-VP2 Elvis Baraković (University of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina) Axial torsion waves in metric-affine gravity We construct new explicit vacuum solutions of quadratic metric-affine gravity. The approach of metric-affine gravity in using an independent affine connection produces a…
