The Department of Mathematics at The Catholic University of America hosts a weekly seminar in Functional Analysis and Related Areas. Attendance is open to all interested members of the mathematics community, including students and faculty from other colleges and universities. See below for the title and an abstract of the upcoming presentation.

SEMINAR IN FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
AND RELATED AREAS
Wednesday, April 24, 2024
4:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (including a coffee break)

SPEAKER:  Professor Paul Kainen
                   Georgetown University

TITLE: Euler's Theorem for Graphs and Its Generalizations

ABSTRACT:  In joint work with Richard Hammack, we've shown that for the nicest types of polytopes, the disjoint cycles of the classic theorem can be replaced by surfaces (in 2-d) and manifolds in some higher-dimensions. Mostly, the surfaces and manifolds are spheres. In addition, for CW-complexes where the attaching maps are homeomorphisms on the boundaries of the attached cells, the decomposition is into minimal even subcomplexes. Eulerian trails are replaced by coverings by pseudomanifolds.

PLACE:  Aquinas Hall, room 108.

ORGANIZERS: V. Bogdan (The Catholic University of America), P. Kainen (Georgetown University), R. Kalpathy (The Catholic University of America), and A. Levin (The Catholic University of America).
