Title: Uniform Borel Amenability
Time: Thursday, 01.05.2024, 16:15.
Place: ELTE, D3-306.
Abstract: According to the classical result of Ornstein and Weiss, if a countable amenable group has a Borel action on the standard Borel set, then for
all quasi-invariant measure mu the associated equivalence relation is mu-hyperfinite. A little bit later Connes-Feldman-Weiss extended this result
for arbitrary "amenable actions". In the talk I will introduce uniform Borel amenability.
and show how to strengthen the results of Ornstein-Weiss and Connes-Feldman-Weiss in the uniform Borel amenable case. Note that Borel actions
of countable amenable groups are uniformly Borel amenable. I will explain all the necessary notions. This is joint work with Adam Timar.

Title: An invitation to Borel Polymorphisms
Time: Thursday, 29.02.2024, 16:15.
Place: ELTE, D3-306.
Abstract: I will discuss in some detail why is it hard to solve Borel systems of linear equations over finite fields and the relationship of these results to Borel polymorphisms.

Title: Monochromatic products and sums
Time: Thursday, 22.02.2024, 16:00.
Place: ELTE, D3-306.
Abstract: We show that any 2-coloring of the naturals and any finite coloring of the rationals contains many monochromatic sets of the form {x, y, xy, x+y}. This is partially based on joint work with Marcin Sabok.

Title: Borel asymptotic dimension and hyperbolic groups
Time: Thursday, 15.02.2024, 16:00.
Place: ELTE
Abstract: We will give a brief overview of the hyperfiniteness question for orbit equivalence relations and define the Borel asymptotic dimension. We will provide an easy proof of the theorem of Marquis and Sabok, which states that the actions of hyperbolic groups of their Gromov boundaries are hyperfinite. If time permits, we will also explain how the same holds for free topologically amenable actions of free groups. The talk is based on joint works with Andrea Vaccaro.

Title: Baire Measurable Matchings in Non-amenable Graphs
Time: 08.02.2024, 16:00.
Place: Renyi Institute, Tondo Room
Abstract: Tutte's theorem provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite graph to have a perfect matching. In this talk I will present joint work with Kastner showing that if a locally finite Borel graph satisfies a strengthened form of Tutte's condition, then it has a perfect matching which is Baire measurable. As a consequence, the Schreier graph of a free action of a non-amenable group on a Polish space admits a Baire measurable perfect matching. This is analogous to the result of Csoka and Lippner on factor of IID perfect matchings for non-amenable Cayley graphs.

Title: Computable vs. Descriptive Combinatorics of Local Problems
Time: 07.02.2024, 14:00.
Place: Renyi Institute, Tondo Room
Abstract: We consider "local" combinatorial problems on graphs. I.e, problems in which we seek a global labelling of vertices, edges, etc. satisfying some set of local constraints. Typical examples include proper coloring and perfect matching. We are moreover interested in finding solutions which are in some sense "constructive" or "definable".
We will focus on two specializations of this: finding Baire measurable solutions for Borel graphs on Polish spaces, and finding computable solutions for computable graphs on the natural numbers. Recent investigations have uncovered a large number of similarities between these two settings, but there are interesting questions about how deep the relationship really is. We will attempt to survey some recent positive and negative results in this direction.
Includes joint work with Qian, Bowen, and Conley.
