    • Abstract. Can unanimity be achieved in an unreliable distributed system? This problem was named the "Byzantine Generals Problem" by L. Lamport, R. Shostak, and M. Pease. The analysis of commnunicational protocols is a huge and even nowadays popular sub eld of Information Theory raising numerous application-oriented questions. While agreement of the participants is a common requirement in such problems, the actual questions have wide spectrum depending on the attributes of the communication scheme. In my talk I will introduce the classical Byzantine Generals Problem which considers nerworks with reliable, authenticated, syncronous and point-to-point communications and requests agreement in the presence of non-trusted participants. Related variants and recent problems will be also part of the discusson.

    • Abstract: The aim of the talk is to present an elementary exposition of Picard-Vessiot theory. Given a homogeneous linear differential equation over a differential field (with algebraically closed field of constants), we will see that there exists a differential extension of the base field which is generated by a fundamental set of solutions and which is minimal with this property. Furthermore, we will discuss a Galois correspondence in this situation.

    Abstract.     The perfect graph theorem states that a graph is perfect iff its complement is perfect. This was conjectured by Berge and first proven in 1972 by Lovász. I will present a proof (also due to Lovász, but given later) which uses ideas of polyhedral combinatorics.  The basic idea of polyhedral combinatorics is to construct a polytope in R^n given some graph on n vertices, try to fully describe the polytope geometrically (i.e. explicitly write all equations defining its facets), and in doing so, hopefully gain some insight to the structure of the graph.
