Rocky Mountain Summer School 2013: Algebraic Graph Theory

“代数图论”课程将于2013年6月17日至28日在怀俄明大学进行。这个暑期学校是由落基山数学联盟（RMMC）赞助的年度项目的一部分。该计划的目的是向研究生和研究人员介绍代数图论及其应用的主题，促进合作，并建立年轻研究人员之间的联系。每天的讲座将为参与者提供该主题的背景知识，下午的专题讲座和问题讨论会将加强讲座内容，并为参与者提供一起解决开放性问题的机会。使用代数技术来解决图论问题是一种非常富有成效的方法，并且继续在纯数学之外的物理，计算机科学，生物学和统计学中得到应用。涵盖的主题包括谱图理论与量子计算的应用，关联方案与设计和编码理论的应用，以及图多项式与波茨模型和DNA自组装的应用。其目的是为学生和研究人员提供多样化的群体。鼓励和支持在数学领域未被充分代表的群体成员的参与。有关该计划的更多信息可以在http://www.uwyo.edu/jwilliford/rmmc2013/rmmc_2013.html上找到

The program "Algebraic Graph Theory" will run from June 17-28, 2013, at the University of Wyoming. This summer school is part of an annual program sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium (RMMC). The purpose of this program is to introduce graduate students and researchers to topics in algebraic graph theory and their applications, foster collaboration, and build ties between young researchers. Daily lectures will provide the participants with background in the subject, and contributed talks and problem sessions in the afternoon will reinforce the lectures and give the participants a chance to work together on open problems. The use of algebraic techniques to solve graph theory problems has been a very fruitful approach, and continues to have applications beyond pure mathematics to physics, computer science, biology and statistics. The topics covered include spectral graph theory with applications to quantum computing, association schemes with applications to design and coding theory, and graph polynomials with applications to the Potts model and DNA self-assembly. The aim is for a diverse body of student and researchers. Participation of members of groups underrepresented in mathematics is encouraged and supported.More information about the program can be found at: http://www.uwyo.edu/jwilliford/rmmc2013/rmmc_2013.html
