Thursday, 12 October 2023 Mathematical Research Seminar brought together enthusiasts of algebraic combinatorics

As part of the Mathematical Research Seminar at UP FAMNIT, in collaboration with UP Andrej Marušič Institute, a workshop on algebraic combinatorics was held today, which brought together researchers and enthusiasts in the field.   

Participants were addresed by the rector of UP, Prof. Klavdija Kutnar, who guided everyone into the world 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.  

Later, additional presentations were given 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«, 
• Tomo 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«.
