*********************************** * Princeton Discrete Math Seminar * *********************************** Speaker: Alexey Pokrovskiy (UCL) Thursday 15th October, 15:00, via Zoom. Zoom ID 926 1792 4153. Password will be mailed to the seminar list. Title: Rota's basis conjecture holds asymptotically Rota's basis conjecture is a well-known problem, that states that for any collection of n bases in a rank n matroid, it is possible to decompose all the elements into n disjoint rainbow bases. Here an asymptotic version of this is will be discussed - that it is possible to find n − o(n) disjoint rainbow independent sets of size n − o(n). ---------------------------------- Next week: TBA Anyone wishing to be added to or removed from this mailing list should contact Paul Seymour (pds@math.princeton.edu)
