Title: Deterministic Representation of Linear Matroids.
Abstract: Matroids are combinatorial objects that generalize the notion of
linear independence. They have several applications in design and analysis
of algorithms. Linear matroids are a subclass of matroids that can be
represented by a matrix. Recently, these matroids have found applications
in Parameterized Complexity, including some breakthrough results. In this
talk, we will discuss the problem of constructing a matrix representation
of linear matroids, especially via deterministic algorithms.

Title: Dense Networks: Sampling and Dynamics.
Abstract: Understanding hidden populations governed by an underlying
network has always been a challenge using standard sampling methods. The
reasons being cost, lack of sampling frame, privacy concerns, and
populations constituting a small proportion. A network is dense if the
number of edges scales quadratically with the number of vertices. In this
talk we shall discuss limitations of a particular sampling procedure
called Respondent Driven Sampling intended to understand hidden
populations and a natural class of dynamics in dense networks arising from
such re-sampling in multi-type population.

Title: Hermitian surfaces over finite fields and a conjecture by Sørensen.
Abstract: Hermitian varieties, first studied by Bose and Chakravati in
1966, are a class of vastly studied objects in the area of finite geometry
and coding theory. During 1991, in his PhD thesis, A. B. Sørensen proposed
a conjecture on the maximum number of rational points on the intersection
of a Hermitian surface and a surface of degree d defined over the same
field. Edoukou's work in 2006 towards proving the conjecture for d=2
marked the first progress towards this conjecture. In 2018, in a joint
work with Peter Beelen, we have shown that the conjecture is true for d=3.
Finally, in a joint work with Peter Beelen and Masaaki Homma, we have
proved the conjecture completely. In this talk, we will give an account of
these developments.

construction and their justification. Necessary tools to carry out these
tasks will be introduced.
