Conference on integrable systems, random matrix theory, and combinatorics

这项NSF奖支持“可积分系统、随机矩阵理论和组合学会议”，该会议将于2013年10月23-27日在亚利桑那大学举行。会议的目标是促进可积偏微分方程研究人员与随机矩阵理论和组合学研究人员之间的互动。这个事件是及时的，因为可积方法现在已经准备好对图枚举问题产生影响，新发现的组合恒等式使得严格证明配分函数的完全展开成为一个可实现的目标。会议将包括上午的讲座，介绍随机矩阵理论和可积系统的最新发展，随后是下午的研讨会，探讨这些领域的新研究方向和合作。大多数参与者将由初级研究人员和研究生组成。会议的主要目标是促进偏微分方程、随机矩阵理论和组合学领域的研究和教育，并将来自数学中两个令人兴奋的活跃领域的高级研究人员、初级研究人员和研究生聚集在一起，这些领域具有数学生物学和理论物理学的潜在应用。

This NSF award supports the "Conference on integrable systems, random matrix theory, and combinatorics", which will take place at the University of Arizona, October 23-27, 2013. The goal of the conference is to foster interaction between researchers in integrable partial differential equations and researchers working in random matrix theory and combinatorics. The event is timely because integrable methods are now ready to have an impact on problems of graphical enumeration and newly discovered combinatorial identities make the rigorous proof of the full expansion of partition functions a reachable goal. The conference will include morning lectures on the most recent developments in random matrix theory and integrable systems, followed by afternoon workshops to investigate new research directions and collaborations in these areas. The majority of the participants will consist of junior researchers and graduate students. Information about the conference can be found at the conference website http://math.arizona.edu/mcl/CombConf.htm.The main objective of the conference is to promote research and education in the areas of partial differential equations and random matrix theory and combinatorics, and to bring together senior researchers, junior researchers and graduate students from two exciting active areas in mathematics with potential applications to mathematical biology and theoretical physics.
