The 8th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory will be hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame on May 13--14 2023 (Saturday--Sunday). This annual workshop is targeted towards researchers in discrete mathematics at institutions in the Great Lakes area. The workshop will be centered around two series of three tutorial lectures each, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques in combinatorics and graph theory. There will be closely related short talks by students and early-career researchers, and a problem session. 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 and algebra. The confirmed tutorial speakers, Will Perkins (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Stephanie van Willigenburg (University of British Columbia), will speak about some of their own recent breakthroughs in these areas. Perkins will speak about the interactions between combinatorics, statistical physics and theoretical computer science, while van Willigenberg will speak about the classical topics of the chromatic polynomial and symmetric functions, and then about a recent notion, the chromatic symmetric function, that unites these ideas from graph theory and algebra.

第八届密歇根湖组合学和图论研讨会将于2023年5月13日至14日（周六至周日）由圣母大学数学系主办。这个年度研讨会的目标是在五大湖地区的机构离散数学研究人员。工作坊将以两个系列为中心，每个系列三堂辅导课，重点介绍组合学和图论的最新技术。将有学生和早期职业研究人员密切相关的简短演讲，以及一个问题讨论环节。在研讨会期间，将有充足的非预定时间，以便开始新的研究合作，并继续积极的合作。通过向本科生、研究生和初入职场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，研讨会将特别有利于他们。组合学和图论是离散数学中两个非常活跃的研究领域，与统计物理和代数等学科有着重要的联系。已确认的讲师Will Perkins（佐治亚理工学院）和Stephanie van Willigenburg（英属哥伦比亚大学）将讲述他们在这些领域的一些最新突破。珀金斯将讨论组合学，统计物理和理论计算机科学之间的相互作用，而范·威利根伯格将讨论色多项式和对称函数的经典主题，然后是一个最近的概念，色对称函数，它将图论和代数中的这些思想结合起来。欲了解更多信息，请访问研讨会网站https://sites.nd.edu/lmw8-2023/This，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
