[DMANET] Albany Discrete Mathematics Day Sat/Sun April 25-26

The upcoming Northeast Combinatorics Network
Spring Discrete Math Day at Albany will take place virtually, over Zoom,
and over two days, Saturday April 25 and Sunday April 26.

Our speakers include:

- Alejandro Morales (UMass Amherst)
Volumes and triangulations of flow polytopes of graphs
- Jessica Sidman (Mount Holyoke)
Geometric Equations for Matroid Varieties
- Francois Bergeron (Univ. of Quebec at Montreal)
Recent advances in the study of multivariate diagonal harmonics
- Megan Owen (CUNY, Lehman College)
Representations of partial leaf sets in phylogenetic tree space
- Sophie Spirkl (Princeton)
Excluding induced subgraphs from sparse graphs


The zoom link with embedded password below is available on the
meeting web site, together with the program and abstracts.
