Abstract:

This talk is about graphs and algebras. We start with a graph and build an algebra out of it. Then we ask if we change a graph, what will happen to the algebra.

Graph algebras provide an algebraic tool to understand graphs, which play a fundamental role in network theory with applications in logistical networks, the World Wide Web, the Internet, gene regulatory networks, and social networks, to name but a few.
