SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium - Colorings and Consensus on Graphs
DESCRIPTION:MAT Colloquium\nWednesday\, March 4\, 2026\nHill Auditorium\, Barrows Hall\nRefreshments at 3:00pm\, Talk 3:15-4:05pm \nSpeaker: Matt Jones\, Colby College \nAbstract: For hundreds of years\, graphs have been used by mathematicians to study the connections between things. I will begin by introducing graphs and graph colorings\, and briefly talk through a classical result from the field of graph coloring problems. After that\, I will show how graph colorings can also be used to study group behavior by introducing a new kind of graph coloring. These “locally-optimal’’ colorings are relevant when a group tries to reach consensus\, and I will describe an algorithm to count them. Finally\, I’ll talk about how to think of consensus as a stochastic process and how to apply these ideas to real-world scenarios.
