The Gonality of Rook Graphs by Prof. Noah Speeter, University of Kentucky, Mathematics Class of 1960s Speaker, Friday, September 30, 1 – 1:45 pm, North Science Building 017, Wachenheim.

Abstract:  The gonality game is a type of chip-firing game which is played on graphs which has interesting applications to algebraic geometry.  The objective of this game is to ensure that no vertex on our graph has a negative number of chips after one is stolen. In this talk we will learn optimal strategies for winning on 2-dimensional rook graphs.
