Subject area: Combinatorics
We will explore combinatorial analogues to topological fixed point theorems. We present some applications among graph colouring, fair division and embeddability problems. If time permits, we will consider similar results as seen for Z₂ for general groups. The talk aims to be introductory and suitable for all graduate students.
