The 7th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory will be held at the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at the University Illinois at Chicago (UIC) on April 4--5, 2020 (Saturday--Sunday). This annual workshop is targeted towards researchers in discrete mathematics at institutions in the area around Lake Michigan. This award will support travel expenses for workshop participants. The workshop will be centered around two series of three tutorial lectures each, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques in combinatorics. There will also be closely related short talks by students and early-career researchers. There will be ample unscheduled time during the workshop to allow new research collaborations to commence and active collaborations to be continued. The workshop will particularly benefit undergraduates, graduate students, and early-career researchers by introducing them to new research directions and helping them establish valuable connections with more senior colleagues. Combinatorics and graph theory are two very active areas of research within the broader field of discrete mathematics, with important ties to disciplines such as statistical physics, probability theory, algorithms, and network science. The confirmed tutorial speakers, Wojciech Samotij (Tel Aviv University) and Cynthia Vinzant (North Carolina State University), will speak about some of their own recent breakthroughs in combinatorics. Samotij will speak about entropy methods in combinatorics and probabilistic combinatorics while Vinzant will speak about the log-concavity of polynomials and probabilistic and algorithmic applications. The two lecture series will cover a broad spectrum of combinatorics and graph theory ranging from extremal combinatorics to probabilistic combinatorics and algebraic combinatorics, but the two topics nevertheless share some common themes, notably fundamental properties of discrete probability distributions For more information please consult the workshop website: https://willp.people.uic.edu/lakemichigan2020/ .This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第七届密歇根湖组合学和图论研讨会将于2020年4月4日至5日(周六至周日)在芝加哥伊利诺伊大学(UIC)数学、统计和计算机科学系举行。这个一年一度的研讨会面向密歇根湖周围地区机构的离散数学研究人员。这项奖励将支持研讨会参与者的旅费。研讨会将围绕两个系列，每个系列三个教程讲座，重点是组合数学中最先进的技术。还将有学生和职业生涯早期研究人员进行密切相关的简短演讲。研讨会期间将有充足的计划外时间，以便开始新的研究合作并继续进行积极的合作。研讨会将向本科生、研究生和职业生涯早期的研究人员介绍新的研究方向，并帮助他们与更资深的同事建立有价值的联系，从而使他们特别受益。在更广泛的离散数学领域中，组合学和图论是两个非常活跃的研究领域，与统计物理、概率论、算法和网络科学等学科有着重要的联系。已确认的讲师Wojciech Samitij(特拉维夫大学)和Cynthia Vinzant(北卡罗来纳州立大学)将讲述他们自己最近在组合学方面的一些突破。萨莫蒂奇将讲述组合学和概率组合学中的熵方法，而Vinzant将讲述多项式的对数凹性以及概率和算法应用。这两个系列讲座将涵盖从极值组合学到概率组合学和代数组合学的广泛范围的组合学和图论，但这两个主题仍然有一些共同的主题，特别是离散概率分布的基本性质。有关更多信息，请查阅研讨会网站：https://willp.people.uic.edu/lakemichigan2020/。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
