A famed conjecture on it\,\ncalled t he Stanley-Stembridge (3+1)-free conjecture\, has been the\nfocus of much research lately. In this talk we will be introduced to\nthe chromatic symm etric function\, the (3+1)-free conjecture\, new cases\nand tools for reso lving it\, and answer another question of Stanley of\nwhether the (3+1)-fr ee conjecture can be widened. This talk requires\nno prior knowledge.\n DTSTAMP:20250524T032904Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
