Conferences  >  Mathematics  >  Graph Theory and Combinatorics

Celebrating its 56th year, the Conference brings together mathematicians and others interested in combinatorics, graph theory and computing, and their interactions. The Conference lectures and contributed papers, as well as the opportunities for informal conversations, have proven to be of great interest to other scientists and analysts employing these mathematical sciences in their professional work in business, industry, and government. The Conference continues to promote better understanding of the roles of modern applied mathematics, combinatorics, and computer science to acquaint the investigator in each of these areas with the various techniques and algorithms which are available to assist in his or her research. Each discipline has contributed greatly to the others, and the purpose of the Conference is to decrease even further the gaps between the fields.

The 1st edition of the EBC gathered 87 participants from 8 Brazilian states and 10 other countries. It was organized by IME/USP, IMPA and INCTMat, with support from CNPq, CAPES and FAPESP. The 2nd edition of the EBC will have a similar format, with 11 plenary talks, 2 mini-courses, and daily poster presentations. The EBC also provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and students from Brazil and abroad to start new collaborations, and a significant amount of time will be set aside during the week for participants to work on open problems in small groups.

This workshop will be centered on recent advances in graph rigidity and interactions between rigidity, algebraic statistics, and matroid theory. Three major advances are the recent resolution of the matroid maximality conjecture, the newly developed link to maximum likelihood estimation in Gaussian graphical models, and the recent positive resolution of Lovasz and Yemini's connectivity conjecture for generic rigidity. The workshop will showcase a diverse sample of current work addressing fundamental problems in graph rigidity, algebraic matroids, and algebraic statistics.

Combinatorial statements, such as theorems of Caratheodory, Radon, Helly, Sperner, Tucker, Ky Fan, etc., are fundamental results of combinatorial (algebraic) topology, accessible to non-specialists, which are immediately applicable to mathematical economics, data science, game theory, graph theory, mathematical optimization, computational geometry, and other fields. The aim of our project is to study the “Ky Fan correspondence » between the topology of triangulated spherical bundles and combinatorics of generalized labelings (coloring) of the associated simplicial complexes. Guided by the review of De Loera et. al. (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 2019) we explore the consequences of this correspondence for the envy-free and fair division problem, Tverberg-type theorems, and other related problems of topological combinatorics.

This meeting provides an oppertunity for researchers in combinatorics to meet each other, exchange ideas and foster new collaborations. From students to professors, we invite everyone to get involved with the Dutch combinatorics community.

WORDS 2025 will delve into various topics related to discrete structures and randomness, including but not limited to percolation, random graphs, and stochastic geometry.

The geometric arrangement of a material’s constituents plays an important role in governing its behavior. Concepts from discrete mathematics to describe these geometric arrangements, including notions of rigidity and flexibility, can bring fundamental insight into how a material might respond to stress, be designed, be reconfigured, etc. Beyond materials, the notions of network rigidity can be applied to more abstract networks and geometries, such as those found in data science. This workshop aims to build connections between the field of mathematical rigidity theory, other topics in applied mathematics, and related areas of science and engineering.

In a growing number of applications, one needs to analyze and interpret data coming from massive networks. The statistical problems arising from such applications lead to important mathematical challenges: building novel probabilistic models, understanding the possibilities and limitations for statistical detection and inference, designing efficient algorithms, and understanding the inherent limitations of fast algorithms. The workshop will bring together leading researchers in combinatorial statistics, machine learning, and random graphs in the hope of cross-fertilization of ideas.

This workshop is devoted to interactions between continued fraction algorithms (in dimension one and mostly higher) and arithmetic, automatic and uniformly distributed sequences. Problems in this area inspired a lot of work in dynamical systems in general, and the techniques that were developed over the years found applications well beyond their original motivation. Milestones in the theory were achieved by Austrian and Dutch mathematicians and collaborations between them: Hlawka-Koksma and Kuipers-Niederreiter.

The course will present basic concepts of the theory of combinatorial limits related to various combinatorial objects such as graphs, permutations, and hypergraphs, and discuss analytic representations of their limits. We will discuss how the theory of combinatorial limits is related to regularity decompositions and how its analytic tools can be applied to various problems in computer science and mathematics, in particular, in extremal combinatorics where Razborov's flag algebra method has led to advances on long-standing open problems (with solutions of the Erdős-Rademacher Problem and the Erdős Pentagon Problem being among the first results obtained using the method). We will demonstrate how the flag algebra arguments can be applied both directly and in a computer-assisted way, including non-asymptotic settings, e.g., to compute particular Ramsey numbers.

Friezes, introduced 50 years ago by Coxeter, are patterns of integers defined by a simple, local condition. They consist of a finite (or infinite) number of rows written in a lattice, starting with a row of 0s and a row of 1s and satisfying a local SL2-rule: for any four neighbours a, b, c, d forming a diamond we require ad − bc = 1. Since the discovery of links to cluster algebras of type A, a plethora of generalisations have been studied in the last decades. With this workshop, we will provide a platform to establish new links between friezes and research areas in geometry, algebra and combinatorics.

In Honor of the 80th Birthdays of Melvyn Nathanson and Carl Pomerance

The series of Cumberland Conferences on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing began with the intention of meeting a regional need. The conferences bring together internationally known researchers, university and college professors from throughout the southeastern region, some industrial mathematicians and computer scientists, graduate students in these fields, and some undergraduate students. Particular efforts are made to include faculty and students from smaller institutions throughout the region. These conferences are typically held during the month of May, immediately after the end of the spring semester, and the location rotates among universities in the Cumberland region.

Random graphs are ubiquitous in modern probability theory. Besides their intrinsic mathematical beauty, they are also used to model complex networks. In the early 2000’s, I. Benjamini and O. Schramm introduced a mathematical framework in which they endowed the set of locally finite rooted connected graphs with the structure of a Polish space, called the local topology. The goal of this summer school is to introduce the framework of local limits of random graphs, the concepts of Benjamini-Schramm (or unbiased) limits and unimodularity, as well as the most important applications. The lectures will be delivered by Nicolas Curien (Prof. Paris-Saclay University) and Justin Salez (Prof. Université Paris-Dauphine) and will be complemented by many problem sessions, where students will work in small groups under the guidance of teaching assistants, who are researchers in the field.

This school will introduce students to a range of powerful combinatorial tools used to understand algebraic objects ranging from the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian to symmetric functions. The summer school will center around two main lecture series "Webs and Plabic Graphs" and "Vertex Models and Applications". While the exact applications differ, both courses will center on graphical models for algebraic problems closely related to Grassmannian and its generalizations. This school will be accessible to a wide range of students. Students will leave the school with a solid grasp of the combinatorics of webs, plabic graphs, and the six-vertex model, an understanding of their algebraic applications, and a taste of current research directions.

Extremal graph theory and Ramsey theory are two of the central branches of modern extremal combinatorics, which seeks to understand the size and structure of discrete objects under certain natural constraints. In this course we will explore these topics, seeing both some of the beautiful techniques developed to study such problems, as well as many innocent-looking problems that seem completely out of reach of the currently-known techniques. We will also see some of the many connections these questions have to other areas of mathematics, including geometry, number theory, probability, and theoretical computer science.

Research Theme: Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics

Can machines prove theorems? Can they have mathematical ideas? On one hand, category theory offers a formalism for axiomatising ideas from machine learning. On the other hand, mathematicians are excited about the prospect of utilising machine learning techniques to spot new patterns in vast swathes of combinatorial data and hence formulate new conjectures. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts from across algebraic combinatorics, category theory, and machine learning in order to make headway on topics at the intersection of these fields.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to further developing the method of flag algebras and its applications. Flag algebras, developed by Razborov in 2007, allows one to solve problems in combinatorics via streamlined calculations that combine elements from computer engineering and optimization. It led to many recent breakthroughs on long-standing open problems of Erdős, Sós, Turán, Gromov and Zarankiewicz, to name a few. The technique is versatile and can be applied in other settings than graphs and hypergraphs including permutations, oriented graphs, point sets, embedded graphs, and phylogenetic trees.

This workshop encompasses three major aspects of computation within Representation Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics. One concerns the development of efficient algorithms to compute important quantities in order to understand and classify them better. Such problems include structure constants and representation theoretic multiplicities, mutation invariants in cluster algebras, computing dimensions of coinvariant rings, characters of finite-dimensional representations, coefficients of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, web bases etc. This is closely related to understanding what optimality we could expect and in particular the computational complexity aspects of those problems. Their computational complexity class can also be used to understand the existence of combinatorial interpretations, in particular for major structure constants lacking positive formulas like Kronecker and plethysm coefficients. On the other hand, representation theory has seen important applications within computational complexity theory, in the context of Geometric Complexity Theory and Quantum Information Theory.

Webs are diagrammatic tools for representing complex calculations graphically. These diagrams first arose from the representation theory of classical groups, and they have since become important in disparate areas of mathematics. In representation theory, they encode morphisms of quantum groups. In topology, webs give rise to powerful link invariants. In algebra and geometry, Kuperberg's \(mathrm{sl}(3)\) web bases have important relationships with the theory of cluster algebras and affine buildings. In combinatorics, they explain certain dynamics on Young tableaux. Recent work by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--Swanson introduced an \(\mathrm{sl}(4)\) web basis that has exploited and extended exciting connections between webs, plabic graphs, and crystals. There are further connections to total positivity, duality conjectures for cluster algebras and mirror symmetry.
