SEMINAR IN FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
AND RELATED AREAS
Wednesday, April 8, 2026
5:15 p.m. - 6:15 p.m.
SPEAKER : Professor Paul Kainen
Georgetown University
TITLE: Some conjectures in geometric graph theory
ABSTRACT: We will present several intriguing conjectures related to book embeddings. These include the least number of pages for hypercubes and complete bipartite graphs, the least number of matching pages for vertex transitive graphs, and the least number of star forest pages for complete graphs. Applications include VLSI chip and fulfillment center design.
PLACE: Aquinas Hall, Room 108. The talk will also be held on Zoom from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. (ET). See the information about the corresponding link below.
