Topic: Recent advances on the directed Oberwolfach problem

Guest: Alice Lacaze-Masmonteil

From: University of Regina

I will demonstrate how this problem can be formulated as a type of graph-theoretic problem known as a cycle decomposition problem. Then, I will discuss a particular style of construction that was first introduced by R.~Häggkvist in 1985 to solve several cases of the original Oberwolfach problem. Lastly, I will show how this approach can be adapted to the directed Oberwolfach problem, thereby allowing us to obtain solutions for previously open cases. Results discussed in this talk arose from collaborations with Andrea Burgess, Peter Danziger, and Daniel Horsley.
