DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide a gentle introd
 uction to the Shannon Capacity of graphs, a fundam
 ental concept at the intersection of information t
 heory and graph theory. The Shannon Capacity, intr
 oduced by Claude Shannon in 1956, quantifies the m
 aximum amount of information that can be transmitt
 ed without error through a noisy communication cha
 nnel, which is modeled as a graph. Despite decades
  of mathematical research, including work by membe
 rs of our department, many seemingly basic problem
 s surrounding Shannon Capacity remain open. We wil
 l survey some of these open questions.
