In this talk by Dr. Logan Crew (University of Waterloo), we give an overview of the chromatic symmetric function, developed in the 1990s by Richard P. Stanley as a generalization of the chromatic polynomial to a function in multiple variables where permuting the variables leaves the function unchanged. This function lies naturally in the intersection of graph theory and modern algebraic combinatorics, which focuses on more general symmetric functions.
