Cracking the neural code is one of the longstanding questions in neuroscience. How does the activity of populations of neurons represent stimuli and perform neural computations? Decades of theoretical and experimental work have provided valuable clues about the principles of neural coding, as well as descriptive understandings of various neural codes. This raises a number of mathematical questions touching on algebra, combinatorics, probability, and geometry. This workshop will explore questions that arise from sensory perception and processing in olfactory, auditory, and visual coding, as well as properties of place field codes and grid cell codes, mechanisms for decoding population activity, and the role of noise and correlations. These questions may be tackled with techniques from information theory, mathematical coding theory, combinatorial commutative algebra, hyperplane arrangements, oriented matroids, convex geometry, statistical mechanics, and more.

The KOI Combinatorics Lectures is a joint venture between combinatorialists from the Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana area. The goal of this series of meetings is to foster and build intergenerational friendship and collaboration between researchers broadly defined (graduate students, postdocs, faculty) in the KOI area.

his workshop brings together experts from different areas to discuss and foster collaboration on several topics of current interest related to Artin groups such as the K(π, 1) conjecture, hyperplane arrangements and abelian arrangements, combinatorial structures associated with dual Coxeter systems, and complexes of nonpositive curvature.

We have seen how probability motivates new research directions in algebraic combinatorics and how algebraic combinatorics leads to new discoveries in probability. The aim of the workshop is to further stimulate the cross-infiltration of the ideas between two fields.

This meeting will feature principal contributors in these areas in a celebration of the work of Georgia Benkart. With the same focus and tenacity that Georgia always had, we will strive to provide a conference full of beautiful mathematics, incredible inspiration, and the warmth of Georgia’s welcoming personality to our field and our community.

While classical “integrable” statistical mechanics has been restricted to one and two dimensions, recent ideas have extended our understanding to (some) higher dimensional situations, or to models on non-planar graphs. These include graph limits, posets, multinomial models, random complexes and random groups, and more. While these topics are quite diverse, they nonetheless have common tools, notably the use of random walks, the graph laplacian, homology theory, and determinants. Topics will include: Benjamini-Schramm limits of graphs, unimodular measures, spanning trees and spanning complexes, chip firing/sandpile models, matroids, higher determinantal processes, random complexes, multinomial models, random groups, rigidity, and statistical physics in more than two dimensions.

This workshop will feature leading experts in several major areas of graph theory, including extremal, probabilistic and structural aspects of the field. Introductory lectures will form an important part of the program, providing background and motivation, and aimed at a general mathematical audience. Complementing these, research talks will share exciting recent developments in graph theory.

Many exciting breakthroughs in combinatorics involve innovative applications of techniques from a wide range of areas such as harmonic analysis, polynomial and linear algebraic methods, spectral graph theory, and representation theory. This workshop will present recent developments in this area and facilitate discussions of research problems.

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.
