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与图论研讨会将于2023年5月13日--14日（星期六-星期日）由圣母大学数学系主办。这个年度研讨会面向五大湖地区机构的离散数学研究人员。该研讨会将围绕两个系列，每个系列三个教程讲座，重点关注组合学和图论的最先进技术。学生和早期职业研究人员将进行密切相关的简短演讲，以及问题会议。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积极的合作。该研讨会将特别使本科生、研究生和早期职业研究人员受益，向他们介绍新的研究方向，并帮助他们与更资深的同事建立有价值的联系。组合学和图论是更广泛的离散数学领域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。已确认的教程演讲者 Will Perkins（佐治亚理工学院）和 Stephanie van Willigenburg（不列颠哥伦比亚大学）将讲述他们最近在这些领域取得的一些突破。珀金斯将谈论组合学、统计物理学和理论计算机科学之间的相互作用，而范维利根伯格将谈论色多项式和对称函数的经典主题，然后谈论最近的概念，即色对称函数，它结合了图论和代数的这些想法。欲了解更多信息，请访问研讨会网站：https://sites.nd.edu/lmw8-2023/该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
