Turan problems seminar - Winter 2013

Our objective is to learn how the formalism of flag algebras is applied to compute Turan type quantities (see the 2nd paper below).

Reading List

  1. On the Number of Pentagons in Triangle-Free Graphs
  2. Hypergraph Turan Problems
  3. Flag Algebras
  4. On 3-hypergraphs with forbidden 4-vertex configurations
  5. On applications of Razborov's flag algebra calculus to extremal 3-graph theory - easier intro?
  6. On the minimal density of triangles in graphs - first application of flag algebras

Schedule of Meetings

We will meet on Wednesdays at 2:30-3:20 in LOW 115. We also have a backup room Fridays at 1:30-2:30 in LOW 118. I will present the paper of the given week and then lead discussion.
