Abstract

In 1955, Greenwood and Gleason proved that the two-color diagonal Ramsey number R(4,4) equals 18. Key to their proof was constructing a self-complementary graph of order 17 which does not contain a complete subgraph of order four. This graph is one in the family of graphs now known as Paley graphs. In the 1980s, Evans, Pulham and Sheehan provided a simple closed formula for the number of complete subgraphs of order four of Paley graphs of prime order.

Since then, generalized Paley graphs have been introduced. In this talk, we will discuss our recent work on extending the result of Evans, Pulham and Sheahan to generalized Paley graphs, using finite field hypergeometric functions. We also examine connections between our results and both multicolor diagonal Ramsey numbers and Fourier coefficients of modular forms.

This is joint work with Madeline Locus Dawsey (UT Tyler) and Mason Springfield (Texas Tech University).

  • Modular Forms, Moduli and Invariant Theory

    AbstractSiegel modular forms generalize the usual elliptic modular forms and show up in many parts of mathematics: algebraic geometry, number theory and even in mathematical physics. But they are difficult to construct. We show that invariant theory enables us to efficiently construct all (vector valued) Siegel modular forms of degree two and three from from certain basic modular forms provided...
