Slides from talks

Occasionally I succeed in having slides "I prepared earlier" rather than the more ephemeral medium of blackboard and chalk. Here are some:
2018 "A Tutte polynomial for maps" from work with T, Krajewski, B. Litjens, G. Regts and L. Vena (given as a talk at 27th Workshop Cycles and Colourings, High Tatras, Slovakia in September).
2016 "Graph polynomials and matroid invariants from graph homomorphisms" from work with J. Nešetřil, P. Ossona de Mendez, G. Regts and L. Vena (given as a talk at Technion, Haifa in January).
2015 "The Second Alaska Winter School in Combinatorics in Photographs" (17MB pdf file), presented at the John Gimbel Fest, Prague, 3-4 August: In March 2014 eight mathematicians wended their way to Byers Lake at the behest and conveyance of Professor John Gimbel. Although darkness obscures some of the memory of that Alaskan sojourn, there remains a body of photographs - taken by the speaker and by Jan Hubička - that bears witness to something having happened.
2015 An updated version of the talk Graph polynomials from simple graph sequences from work with D. Garijo, J. Nešetřil and P. Ossona de Mendez (given as a talk at Zámeček workshop, Hlohovec in March). Another, later one (RHUL Workshop on the Tutte polynomial in July).
2014 Graph polynomials from simple graph sequences. From work with D. Garijo, J. Nešetřil and P. Ossona de Mendez (drawing on the papers "Polynomial graph invariants from homomorphism numbers" and "Strongly polynomial sequences as interpretations of trivial structures").
2013 Polynomial graph invariants from graph homomorphisms. Based on the eponymous paper with D. Garijo and J. Nešetřil.
