Seminar Details

Topological Graph Theory

  • Start Date: October 4, 2017
  • Event Start Time: 12:10 PM
  • Event End Time: 1:00 PM

  • Presenter(s): Corrine Yap - Rutgers University
  • Event Location: Mathematics Graduate Student Lounge -- 7th Floor | Rutgers University | Hill Center | Mathematics Department
  • Presentation Type: Stand Alone Presentation
  • Abstract:

    What happens when we take the graphs we know and love and stick them on the torus? What about the Möbius strip? Or the Klein bottle? We'll talk about how to embed graphs on "nice" surfaces in a "nice" way and give generalizations to a few familiar theorems about planar graphs. There will be no topology knowledge required. If time permits, we'll also color some stuff!
