Exploring Algebraic Combinatorics: Highlights from the Mathematical Research Seminar
The Mathematical Research Seminar at UP FAMNIT, in partnership with UP Andrej Marušič Institute, hosted a workshop on algebraic combinatorics. This collaborative event brought together researchers and enthusiasts, creating a space for the exchange of ideas and expertise within the field.
The attendees were greeted by UP's rector, Prof. Klavdija Kutnar, who introduced them to the intricate realm of algebraic combinatorics.
This was followed by an introductory lecture titled On the geometry of the Hermitian Veronese curve and its quasi-Hermitian surfaces, presented by Prof. Michel Lavrauw.
Further presentations were delivered by:
- Dragan Marušič with the lecture Does AGT have a life with(out) CFSG?,
- Ilias Kotsireas with the lecture 20+ years of Legendre pairs,
- Daniel Hawtin with the lecture Large sets of infinite dimensional q-Steiner systems,
- Sara Ban with the lecture On new extremal ZZ4-codes of length 64,
- Tomaž Pisanski with the lecture Splittable and unsplittable polycirculants,
- Istvan Kovacs with the lecture CI-property of the groups C2 p × Cn and C2 p × C2 q for digraphs,
- Andrea Švob with the lecture Switching for block designs,
- Ana Šumberac with the lecture Codes from quasi-symmetric designs of Blokhuis-Haemers type,
- Blas Fernández with the lecture On the trivial T -module of a graph.
