Lovász theta type norms and Operator Systems
Friday, November 7 1PM, 646 PGH
Abstract
Two graphs are isomorphic if and only if their corresponding
operator systems are unitally completely order isomorphic. In this
talk we examine how this extra structure that comes from the
operator system can be used to say something new about a
graph via this correspondence. We found that certain quotient
norms that arise from studying the operator system of a graph
give rise to a new family of parameters of a graph. We then show
basic properties about these norms, write down explicitly how to
compute them via a semidefinte program, and discuss their
similarities to the Lovász theta function. Finally, we explore
a particular parameter in this family and establish a
new graph theoretic condition.
