Title:  A Little TLC

Abstract:  Every semester the research triangle in North Carolina hosts the Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics (TLC). Since not everyone was able to attend TLC this semester, we thought we would bring TLC to you.

George Andrews studies Mock-theta functions. Sarah Nelson will present highlights from Dr. Andrews' two talks, including history behind Ramanujan's Lost Notebook and some Rogers-Ramanujan identities.

Matt Beck surveys old and new theorems on graph polynomials. Florian Kohl will report some key results from this talk through the 'lens of discrete geometry' with the goal of weaving a unifying thread through some results on graph polynomials.

Victoria Powers presented on what she calls "Certificates of Positivity".  Lola Davidson and Wesley Hough will cover some basic theory and practice of these Certificates.

Robin Pemantle presented on a new lattice recursion, called the Hexahedron recursion, and some of its consequences.  Liam Solus will introduce the concept of a lattice recursion with some classic examples and then discuss Robin Pemantle's findings.

Yue Cai will be the MC for this event.
