Dear all,
The PhD seminar will go on this semester with a bi-weekly schedule.
We start tomorrow -- Thursday, March 25, 10 am. The room will be open 10
minutes earlier, you may come earlier to socialize.
Pavel Koblich Dvořák will speak about how
"Network coding conjecture implies computational complexity lower bounds".
If you think you've heard this talk on the pizza seminar, you are only
partially right -- this time Koblich will concentrate on the background and
context, which were not covered there.

Dear all,
I am sending a Zoom meeting for the organizational meeting of the doctoral
seminar, where we decide how the seminar will be organized this semester. We
start at 10am tomorrow (March 11th).

Hi all,
It's been almost a year since the in-person teaching stopped and with it
also the seminar for graduate students
in discrete math & tcs,
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/dokt_seminar/doktsem1920.html
I find this to be too long, so I want to restart the seminar this semester
(unfortunately in the online form, given
the situation). The seminar will be led by me and Martin Balko.
I always hoped the seminar had beside its scientific value, also a social
value. I hope that despite the online form,
we can perhaps discuss the presented papers more than is typical in any of
the plethora of online talks. Perhaps
also chat a bit about how everything is going ...
I know it can be more work to prepare an online talk then a classical
blackboard one. On the other hand, everybody can
look into the paper on screen, so sharing figures and formulas may be easy.
I suppose we can also use the lecture rooms
to deliver an online talk, several are equipped for this; and if only one
person is present, there should be no danger.
So I think that we can try it. Anyway, it is unlikely the normal situation
will come back during this semester, and who knows about Fall.
Proposed plan: next Thursday we have an organizational meeting. Anyone can
join (and I hope many of you will) to discuss
what you think about it, what (if anything) you expect from the seminar,
etc.
---> Time: Thu March 11, 10 am (I suppose for at most an hour, but I have
time till 12).
Then we can perhaps resume what was planned for the spring semester last
year and is still listed on the website as cancelled.
Of course, if you don't like your paper anymore, change is possible.
The working language will be English (unless of course all participants
speak Czech, but I see at least two people among last year
participants who don't -- and I think it is a good practice to speak math
in English anyway).
If you want to discuss over email, feel free to do so. You can also send an
email just to me, so I have an idea how many people
are on board.
Stay safe and hopefully see you (online) next week,
R
