Title: Mathematical Overview of Kirchhoff Graphs
Abstract: For fifteen or so years now, I’ve been studying a type of geometric graph that I call a Kirchhoff graph. This talk is a general overview of this work. Given a finite set of vectors from any vector space that form only rational linear combinations, the basics of how to form Kirchhoff graphs, what the properties of Kirchhoff graphs are (specifically uniformity) and the connections to matroids will be discussed. Finally computational methods for finding Kirchhoff graphs will be considered.
