For a given ε > 0, we call a set AP_k(ε) = {x0,…,xk−1} an ε-approximate arithmetic progression of length k if for some a and d, |xi −(a+id)|<εd...

19 October 2021, 2:40 pm, Zoom Speaker: Ranganathan Padmanabhan (University of Manitoba)Title: ‘Hungtington Varieties’ Abstract: A variety KK of lattices is called Huntington if every uniquely complemented lattice in KK is distributive. In 1904, E.V. Huntington conjectured that every uniquely complemented lattice was distributive. In fact, the conjecture had been verified for several special classes of lattices. However, in 1945, Dilworth...

22 October 2021, 3:30 pm (note the unusual time!), Zoom Speaker: Kyle Murphy (Dakota State)Title: Maximizing Five Cycles in K_r-free Subgraphs Abstract: Recently, Palmer and Gerbner defined the term $F$-Tur\’an Good to describe a graph $H$ which is unique maximized by the Tur\’an graph for all sufficiently large $F$-free graphs. Along with Bernard Lick\’y we...
