Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory

该奖项支持参加第三届密歇根湖组合数学和图论研讨会，于2016年3月5日至6日在印第安纳州西拉斐特的普渡大学举行。该系列研讨会侧重于组合学和图论，这是现代数学研究中两个非常活跃的领域。研讨会的地理位置是为了作为一个联络点，为大量的研究人员和学生在中西部，并提供机会，加强研究合作的各种图论和组合问题。该研讨会将在整个中西部的大学中进行宣传，将在组合学和图论的重要经典和新兴技术方面对学生和初级研究人员进行培训。该研讨会设有两套三个辅导讲座，重点是经典的技术和组合学的结果，并不总是在典型的研究生序列，并在新兴技术上的发言者特别有资格阐述。普渡大学的Edray Goins教授的系列讲座涉及“q系列，分区，生成函数”，“模块形式”和“应用”。来自肯塔基州大学的Margaret Readdy教授的讲座涉及“量子组合学”、“共代数组合学”和“惠特尼分层与组合学“。“此外，研讨会还包括学生和早期职业教师的简短演讲。更多详细信息，请访问研讨会网站www.stat.purdue.edu/lmwcgt16/

This award supports participation in the third Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory, held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, on March 5-6, 2016. The workshop series focuses on combinatorics and graph theory, which are two very active areas of research in modern mathematics. The geographical location of the workshop is intended as a focal point for the large number of researchers and students in the Midwest and provides opportunities to strengthen research collaborations on a variety of graph theoretical and combinatorial problems. The workshop, which will be advertised to universities throughout the Midwest, will train students and beginning researchers in important classical and emerging techniques of combinatorics and graph theory. The workshop features two sets of three tutorial lectures, focusing on classical techniques and results in combinatorics that are not always presented in typical graduate sequences, and on emerging techniques on which the speakers are particularly qualified to expound. Tutorial lectures by Professor Edray Goins from Purdue University concern "q-series, Partitions, Generating Functions," "Modular Forms," and "Applications." Tutorial lectures by Professor Margaret Readdy from the University of Kentucky concern "Quantum Combinatorics," "Coalgebraic Combinatorics," and "Whitney Stratifications and Combinatorics." In addition, the workshop features short talks by students and early-career faculty members. More details may be found at the workshop website www.stat.purdue.edu/lmwcgt16/
