  On the complexity of conditional independence

  A conditional independence statement says that, for example, random variables (X,Y) and (W,Y,Z) are independent given a random variable (U,V). Cheuk Ting Li showed in 2022 that it is undecidable if a Boolean combination of such statements is true for all collections of discrete finite-valued rand...

  Sampling and enumerating for probabilistic context-free grammars

  I'll discuss algorithms for sampling and enumerating terms from a given probabilistic context-free grammar. It will be mostly a "Not my theorem" session, with early contributions from back in 1974, but if time permits I'll talk about our recent contributions....

  Finite versus infinite arenas for positionality in infinite duration games

  This talk is about positionality (for the protagonist) in infinite duration games, either over finite or over arbitrary arenas. The aim is to compare the two notions. Classically, it is well known that the parity objective is positional over arbitrary arenas, and that the mean-payoff objective is po...

  Flip-width

  I will define a new graph parameter called flip-width. Graph classes of bounded flip-width include classes of bounded expansion of Nesetril and Ossona de Mendez, as well as classes of bounded twin-width of Bonnet, Kim, Thomasse, and Watrigant....

  A categorical characterisation of linear regular functions

  We consider linear regular string-to-string functions, i.e. functions that are recognized by copyless streaming string transducers, or any of their equivalent models, such as deterministic two-way automata. Although this class of functions is clearly important, in particular because of the many equi...

  Querying incomplete numerical data: between certain and possible answers

  Queries with aggregation and arithmetic operations, as well as incomplete data, are common in real-world databases, but we lack a good understanding of how they should interact. On the one hand, systems based on SQL provide ad-hoc rules for numerical nulls, on the other, theoretical research largely...

  Monadically Stable Classes of Graphs

  Intuitively, a class of graphs is monadically stable if first-order logic cannot encode arbitrary long linear orders in it. While originating from model theory, monadic stability generalizes many combinatorial properties of sparse graph classes such as planarity, bounded treewidth, bounded degree, ...

  Logic and Dynamical Systems

  The study of the relationship between logic and topology has a rich and extensive history. One way of exploring this relationship involves examining the formal languages of indiscrete spaces and their discrete representations. The talk will provide an introduction to this topic and its extension to ...

  Equality and zeroness problems of power series for combinatorial enumeration

  A power series is constructible differentially finite (CDF) if it satisfies a system of polynomial differential equations [Bergeron & Reutenauer 1990, Bergeron & Sattler 1995]. CDF series generalise algebraic power series and find a natural application as exponential generating functions in combina...

  On the growth rate of polyregular functions

  Polyregular functions are string-to-string functions that have polynomial size outputs. I will show that a polyregular function has growth rate O(n^k) if and only if it can be defined by an mso transduction of dimension k. On the other hand, the former two conditions are not equivalent to k-pebble a...
