Analytic questions of a discrete nature are ubiquitous in many areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science. The purpose of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of experts working, broadly, on Discrete Analysis with particular emphasis on questions having a geometric component. The topics will include Boolean analysis, vector-valued harmonic analysis, metric embeddings, geometry of graphs and groups, and aspects of discrete probability and theoretical computer science.

The mathematical study of fundamental objects such as curves, embedded graphs, surfaces, and 3-manifolds has a rich and old history. However, the study of their algorithmic and combinatorial properties and the underlying computational questions is still in its infancy. There is a diverse pool of open problems and unanswered questions from the complexity- theoretic side. Examples include the hardness of realizability, the fine-grained complexity of distance and similarity measure computations, the existence of polynomial-time algorithms for flip distances, or the approximability of such distances. When dealing with polyhedral structures associated with geometric or topological objects, methods from Combinatorics and Algebra come into play to analyze structures such as associahedra, secondary polytopes, and mapping class groups of surfaces. Applied fields such as trajectory analysis and machine learning bring new questions and a fresh perspective to the field. This Dagstuhl Seminar on intractability in discrete geometry and topology will bring together researchers from the fields of computational complexity, computational geometry, topology, discrete geometry, and graph drawing; and will focus on the algorithmic, combinatorial, and computational questions mentioned above.

Hausdorff School for Mathematics (HSM)

Geometry processing - the acquisition, reconstruction, and manipulation of geometry - is a vibrant research area with novel mathematical models and an increasing impact of machine learning tools. The challenges in these developments include the sheer size of data sets due to advancing acquisition technologies, robustness in the presence of noise and damaged data, the arbitrary topology of surface meshes, as well as the development of structure-preserving discrete algorithms.

Hausdorff School for Mathematics (HSM)

The aim of this school is to bring together researchers working in the field of computational topology, particularly in persistence theory and its applications in Topological Data Analysis (TDA), to work together on topics in the field. By fostering collaboration at the intersection of mathematics, data science, and the natural sciences, the school will prepare students at the PhD or postdoc level with a solid background in topology or persistent homology to tackle open problems in TDA. There will be a selection of contributed talks.
