Happy Birthday Ron Aharoni!
Ron Aharoni, one of Israel’s and the world’s leading combinatorialists celebrated his birthday last month. This is a wonderful opportunity to tell you about a few of the things that Ron did mainly around matching theory. Menger’s theorem for infinite … Continue reading
A Few Mathematical Snapshots from India (ICM2010)
Can you find Assaf in this picture? (Picture: Guy Kindler.) In my post about ICM 2010 and India I hardly mentioned any mathematics. So here are a couple of mathematical snapshots from India. Not so much from the lectures themselves but … Continue reading

Karim Adiprasito: Flag simplicial complexes and the non-revisiting path conjecture (A combinatorial proof of the Adiprasito-Benedetti theorem.)
This post is authored by Karim Adiprasito The past months have seen some exciting progress on diameter bounds for polytopes and polytopal complexes, both in the negative and in the positive direction. Jesus de Loera and Steve Klee described simplicial polytopes which are not … Continue reading
