Explorations in modern combinatorics

Title: Explorations in modern combinatorics

Speaker: Professor Jonathan Jedwab, Simon Fraser University

Time:    Lecture 1:  6:30-8:30pm, March 27, 2019

            Lecture 2: 9:30-11:30am, March 28, 2019

Venue: 200-9, Sir Run Run Shaw Business Building

Abstract: In this series of four-hour talks, I shall illustrate some of the techniques of modern combinatorics, and their application to digital communications engineering and quantum information theory, by reference to four topics: 

(1) complex equiangular lines, 

(2) the n-card problem, 

(3) Costas cubes,

(4) strong external difference families. 

Combinatorial designs will feature prominently, but I will not assume any prior knowledge.
