Seminar of Graph Theory - Pavol Kollar (12.11.2026)

Martin.Skoviera@fmph.uniba.sk — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 15:10:00 +0100

Pavol Kollár:
What do r-regular families tell us about vertex-transitive graphs
Abstract:
Graphs that have a high number of symmetries are beautiful and also very interesting to study. We will focus on vertex-transitive graphs, which can be thought of as "the graph looks exactly the same, no matter which vertex we look at it from". But not all vertex-transitive graphs are created equal and for us the baseline will be made up of Cayley graphs, which are a well-known and widely studied proper subclass of vertex-transitive graphs. The 10-vertex Petersen graph is the smallest example of a graph that is vertex-transitive, but is not Cayley. Gauyacq showed that the Petersen graph is in fact a quasi-Cayley graph and this notion was later generalised by Jajcay and Jones with "Cayley deficiency" and "quasi-Cayley deficiency". Jajcay and Jones also observed and proved that the 20-vertex Dodecahedron graph is not a Cayley graph nor a quasi-Cayley graph, because both its deficiency values are equal to 3. In our work we will investigate what deficiency values are obtained by which graphs on a small number of vertices - enhancing the census of vertex-transitive graphs by Holt and Royle - as well as determine a few "record graphs" among these with respect to the deficiency values.

12:00 – 13:00 Lunch Workshop I: Automated Vehicles on Slovak Roads: Law, Technology and Business What determines whether automated vehicles make it from testing into everyday operation? The discussion will bring together legal, technical and business perspectives on the conditions for their deployment in Slovakia. It will focus on demonstrating safety, the limits of the technology’s capabilities, the role of the human, and the predictability of regulatory requirements. The panellists will also address the new Act No. 248/2026 Coll. and its significance for the testing and operation of automated vehicles and for the provision of transport services using them. Attention will also be paid to how legal and technical requirements affect costs, investment decisions and business opportunities. Drawing on concrete examples, the panellists will seek to answer the question of what developers, operators and public authorities need so that a technically feasible solution can be used safely and sustainably in practice.

Heating and Hot Water Outage at Átriáky

Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:15:00 +0200

Dear residents, On Monday, 9 November 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., the supply of heating and hot water at Átriáky will be temporarily interrupted. The interruption is necessary due to emergency repair works on the hot-water pipeline on the supplier’s side. The supply of heating and hot water will be fully restored immediately after the works are completed. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Kind regards,
CU Mlyny

Water Supply Interruption at the Married Couples’ Dormitories

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 19:55:00 +0200

Dear residents, On Tuesday, 10 November, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and on Wednesday, 11 November, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the water supply at the Married Couples’ Dormitory will be temporarily interrupted. The interruption is necessary due to the planned replacement of the main shut-off valves and a faulty secondary water meter. Please keep all taps fully closed throughout the interruption. When the water supply is restored and the system pressure stabilises, open taps could cause an uncontrolled water leak, potentially resulting in flooding and property damage. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. CU Mlyny

Nuclear Seminar - Matúš Balogh (11.11.2026)

Jaroslav.Stanicek@fmph.uniba.sk — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 10:02:00 +0100

Mgr. Matúš Balogh, PhD. (Fyzikálny ústav SAV):
Stopárov sprievodca AGATAou: od signálov k jadrovej štruktúre Abstract:
Gamma rays emitted by excited nuclei provide a window into their structure. The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) combines highly segmented HPGe detectors, pulse-shape analysis and gamma-ray tracking to reconstruct photon interaction sequences, enabling precise spectroscopy of moving nuclei. This seminar will introduce the principles and core features of AGATA and present an overview of its experimental campaign at INFN Legnaro National Laboratories. Selected examples will illustrate how AGATA, coupled to complementary detectors, open new avenues of probing nuclear structure. With Slovakia joining the AGATA collaboration, the seminar will also highlight opportunities for participation in physics research and detector and electronics development. New collaborators interested in contributing to these activities are warmly welcome.
