Approximately interpolating between uniformly and non-uniformly polynomial kernels
The problem of computing a minimum set of vertices intersecting a finite set of forbidden minors in a given graph is a fundamental graph problem in the area of kernelization with numerous well-studied special cases. A major breakthrough in this line of research was made by Fomin et al. [FOCS 2012], who showed that the ρ-Treewidth Modulator problem (delete minimum number of vertices to ensure that treewidth is at most ρ) has a polynomial kernel of size k^g(ρ) for some function g. A second standout result in this line is that of Giannapoulou et al. [ACM TALG 2017], who obtained an f(η)k

Hitting Subgraphs in Sparse Graphs and Geometric Intersection Graphs
We investigate a fundamental vertex-deletion problem called (Induced)
Subgraph Hitting: given a graph and a set of forbidden
graphs, the goal is to compute a minimum-sized set of vertices of such
that does not contain any graph in as an (induced)
subgraph. This is a generic problem that encompasses many well-known problems
that were extensively studied on their own, particularly (but not only) from
the perspectives of both approximation and parameterization. We focus on the
design of efficient approximation schemes, i.e., with running time
, which are also of significant
interest to both communities. Technically, our main contribution is a
linear-time approximation-preserving reduction from (Induced) Subgraph Hitting
on any graph class of bounded expansion to the same problem on
bounded degree graphs within . This yields a novel algorithmic
technique to design (efficient) approximation schemes for the problem on very
broad graph classes, well beyond the state-of-the-art. Specifically, applying
this reduction, we derive approximation schemes with (almost) linear running
time for the problem on any graph classes that have strongly sublinear
separators and many important classes of geometric intersection graphs (such as
fat-object graphs, pseudo-disk graphs, etc.). Our proofs introduce novel
concepts and combinatorial observations that may be of independent interest
(and, which we believe, will find other uses) for studies of approximation
algorithms, parameterized complexity, sparse graph classes, and geometric
intersection graphs. As a byproduct, we also obtain the first robust algorithm
for -Subgraph Isomorphism on intersection graphs of fat objects and
pseudo-disks, with running time .Comment: 60 pages, abstract shortened to fulfill the length limi
The Fifteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting
The three volumes of the proceedings of MG15 give a broad view of all aspects of gravitational physics and astrophysics, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments. The scientific program of the meeting included 40 morning plenary talks over 6 days, 5 evening popular talks and nearly 100 parallel sessions on 71 topics spread over 4 afternoons. These proceedings are a representative sample of the very many oral and poster presentations made at the meeting.Part A contains plenary and review articles and the contributions from some parallel sessions, while Parts B and C consist of those from the remaining parallel sessions. The contents range from the mathematical foundations of classical and quantum gravitational theories including recent developments in string theory, to precision tests of general relativity including progress towards the detection of gravitational waves, and from supernova cosmology to relativistic astrophysics, including topics such as gamma ray bursts, black hole physics both in our galaxy and in active galactic nuclei in other galaxies, and neutron star, pulsar and white dwarf astrophysics. Parallel sessions touch on dark matter, neutrinos, X-ray sources, astrophysical black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, binary systems, radiative transfer, accretion disks, quasars, gamma ray bursts, supernovas, alternative gravitational theories, perturbations of collapsed objects, analog models, black hole thermodynamics, numerical relativity, gravitational lensing, large scale structure, observational cosmology, early universe models and cosmic microwave background anisotropies, inhomogeneous cosmology, inflation, global structure, singularities, chaos, Einstein-Maxwell systems, wormholes, exact solutions of Einstein's equations, gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and data analysis, precision gravitational measurements, quantum gravity and loop quantum gravity, quantum cosmology, strings and branes, self-gravitating systems, gamma ray astronomy, cosmic rays and the history of general relativity
