Seminar Details

Series Multisection and the Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon

  • Start Date: April 17, 2019
  • Event Start Time: 12:15 PM
  • Event End Time: 1:15 PM
  • Seminar Series: Graduate Combinatorics Seminar
  • Presenter(s): Rashmika Goswami - Rutgers University
  • Event Location: Mathematics Graduate Student Lounge -- 7th Floor | Rutgers University | Hill Center | Mathematics Department
  • Presentation Type: Stand Alone Presentation
  • Abstract:

    I will discuss two problems in combinatorics where evaluating a polynomial at a primitive root of unity will help us to count objects which are cyclic in nature. The first will involve subset sums modulo n and the second will be an illustrative example of the cyclic sieving phenomenon in the context of permutations acting on multisets.
