Topological properties of graph homomorphisms
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Steve Klee, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Mon, Oct 10 2011, 4:10PM |
In this talk, I will introduce the category of graphs. For a fixed pair of graphs G and H, we will explore a geometric cell complex that encodes all graph homomorphisms from G to H. For appropriate choices of G and H, we will see that the topology of this cell complex encodes interesting graph theoretic data.
