Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics: an International Combinatorics Conference

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This award will provide support for US participants, especially women,graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty, to attend thetwenty-third and twenty-fourth international conferences entitledFormal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC), to be held,respectively, in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Nagoya, Japan. The continuing success of the annual FPSAC conferences stems in partfrom their considerable interdisciplinary breadth -- linking leadingresearchers in combinatorial mathematics with strong researchers inallied fields drawn from pure and applied mathematics, theoreticalcomputer science, physics, and biology. The span of this conferenceseries is unique among international conferences with an emphasis oncombinatorial mathematics. The principal topics featured during theFPSAC 2011 and 2012 conferences will be algebraic, geometric, andenumerative combinatorics. The emphasis will be on applications inphysics, biology, and computer science and on relations to other areasof mathematics such as algebraic geometry, commutative algebra,K-theory, geometric group theory, representation theory, andsymplectic geometry.
