Graduate Student Combinatorics Seminar, Fall 2009 This seminar gives grad students the opportunity to hear and present talks on discrete math, either on topics beyond a standard combinatorics class or original research. GCS is meant to be a friendly, slightly informal speaking environment where questions are encouraged at all points throughout the talk. We only assume a basic general knowledge of combinatorics (roughly equivalent to a single undergrad semester), so students in any area are welcome to attend.Sponsored by DIMACS Current Seminar: Date: November 18th, 2009 Time: 12:10 PM Place: Graduate Student Lounge, 7th Floor, Hill Center Speaker: Aaron Jaggard Title: Parallels between classes of permutations Abstract: We discuss some different combinatorial ways in which two classes of permutations might resemble each other. We'll focus on parallels between involutions in the symmetric group and the symmetric group as a whole, in particular parallels related to pattern avoidance. We'll also suggest some related interesting questions. Upcoming Talks: Date: November 25th, 2009 No Seminar - Thanksgiving Break!!!
