SUMMARY:Chromatic numbers of abelian Cayley graphs (Michael Krebs\, Cal State LA)
DESCRIPTION:A classic problem in graph theory is to find the chromatic number of a given graph: that is\, to find the smallest number of colors needed to assign every vertex a color such that whenever two vertices are adjacent\, they receive different colors.  This problem has been studied for many families of graphs\, including cube-like graphs\, unit-distance graphs\, circulant graphs\, integer distance graphs\, Paley graphs\, unit-quadrance graphs\, etc.  All of those examples just listed can be regarded as “abelian Cayley graphs\,” that is\, Cayley graphs whose underlying group is abelian.  Our goal is to create a unified\, systematic approach for dealing with problems of this sort\, rather than attacking each individually with ad hoc methods.  Building upon the work of Heuberger\, we associate an integer matrix to each abelian Cayley graph.  In certain cases\, such as when the matrix is small enough\, we can more or less read the chromatic number directly from the entries of the matrix.  In this way we immediately recover both Payan’s theorem (that cubelike graphs cannot have chromatic number 4) as well as Zhu’s theorem (which determines the chromatic number of six-valent integer distance graphs).  The proofs utilize only elementary group theory\, elementary graph theory\, elementary number theory\, and elementary linear algebra.  This is joint work with J. Cervantes.

SUMMARY:Claremont Topology Seminar: Reginald Anderson (CMC)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks (Continued) \nAbstract: Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space which yields a strong\, full exceptional collection of line bundles. Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels generalized Beilinson’s result to a cellular resolution of the diagonal for what they called “unimodular” toric varieties (a more restrictive condition than being smooth)\, which can also be extended to smooth toric varieties and global quotient toric DM stacks of a smooth toric variety by a finite abelian group\, if we allow our resolution to have cokernel which is supported only along the vanishing of the irrelevant ideal. Here we show implications for exceptional collections of line bundles and a positive example for the modified King’s conjecture by giving a strong\, full exceptional collection of line bundles on a smooth\, non-unimodular nef-Fano complete toric surface.

SUMMARY:Building the Fan of a Toric Variety (Professor Reginald Anderson\, Claremont McKenna College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Building the Fan of a Toric Variety \nSpeaker: Reginald Anderson\, Department of Mathematical Sciences\, Claremont McKenna College \nAbstract: Roughly speaking\, algebraic geometry studies the zero sets of polynomials\, which lead to objects called varieties. Since the zero sets of polynomials do not always pass the vertical line test\, we enlist other methods to study them besides considering the graph of a function. This is analogous to the use of implicit differentiation in calculus. One such method uses line bundles to understand a variety in terms of its algebraic subspaces. Since the zero sets of polynomials can become complicated in multiple variables over the complex numbers\, one simplifying assumption we can impose is that the variety contain a dense\, open algebraic torus. This leads to the notion of a toric variety. I will describe the fan of a toric variety for the complex projective line\, and mention some recent results concerning toric varieties. \n\n\n\n\n\nReginald Anderson received his PhD in mathematics from Kansas State University in May and studies derived categories of toric DM stacks. His research areas include algebraic geometry\, homological algebra\, and category theory.
