Conference on Algebraic, Enumerative and Topological Combinatorics

从2015年1月5日到1月9日，“代数、拓扑和枚举组合学会议”将在佛罗里达州珊瑚山墙的迈阿密大学举行。本次会议将为已建立的专家和早期职业数学家提供一个机会，分享代数，枚举和拓扑组合学领域的想法和结果。组合学是研究离散的，通常是有限的数学结构。这种结构的例子是网络，如互联网、电话系统和运输系统。虽然有限结构原则上很容易理解，通过详尽的检查，一旦结构变得太大，这实际上是不可能的。因此，更多的理论方法是必要的。该领域的实践者从数学的各个领域带来了技术，这些技术涉及的抽象超出了人们可能期望的问题的性质。会议将重点讨论该领域当前研究的前沿话题。在讲座和非正式讨论中，可能讨论的话题是组合学与其他领域之间的联系，包括代数几何、拓扑、交换代数、表示理论和概率论。关于会议的更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：//www.math.miami.edu/~galloway/wachsfest.html

From January fifth through January ninth of 2015, ``A Conference on Algebraic, Topological and Enumerative Combinatorics" will be held at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. This conference will provide an opportunity for established experts and early career mathematicians to share ideas and results in the field of algebraic, enumerative and topological combinatorics. Combinatorics is the study of discrete, usually finite, mathematical structures. Examples of such structures are networks, such as the internet, phone systems and transportation systems. While finite structures are in principle easy to understand through exhaustive examination, this becomes practically impossible once the structures become too large. Thus more theoretical approaches are necessary. Practitioners in the field bring to bear techniques from various areas of mathematics that involve abstraction beyond what one might expect given the nature of the problems at hand.The conference will feature talks on topics at the forefront of current research in the field. Among the likely topics of discussion both in talks and informal discussions are connections between combinatorics and various other areas, including algebraic geometry, topology, commutative algebra, representation theory and probability.
