Conference: Shanks Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory

“尚克斯组合学与图论研讨会”将于2024年4月13日至14日在范德比尔特大学举行。工作坊的重点将放在结构图论、极值组合学、图着色、拉姆齐理论及其交集上。研讨会将突出这些领域最近取得的重大成就，并为研究人员提供一个平台，让他们分享最新的见解和工具，交流他们的工作，分享公开的问题，并建立新的合作。研讨会的目标是：(1)将组合学和图论的研究人员聚集在一起，以交流和交流思想；(2)促进参与者之间开放的问题分享和讨论；(3)使初级研究人员接触到这些领域的最新发展；以及(4)拓宽和刺激初级、女性和代表性不足的研究人员的研究。组合学领域涉及离散环境中的问题和技术。它与数学的其他领域密切相关，并有许多应用，从进化生物学到计算机科学，从逻辑到统计物理。图论是组合数学中最古老的部分之一，它与其他领域有着许多天然的联系。研讨会将有两位全体演讲者和八位职业生涯早期演讲者参加。此外，我们计划组织一次公开问题会议和一次讨论会议，让研讨会的参与者就与更广泛的数学和计算机科学界相关和感兴趣的公开问题交流见解和想法。研讨会的网站位于https://my.vanderbilt.edu/cgt2024/.This，该奖项反映了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。

The “Shanks Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory” will take place at Vanderbilt University, April 13-14, 2024. The focus of the workshop will be on structural graph theory, extremal combinatorics, graph coloring, Ramsey theory, and their intersections. The workshop will highlight significant recent achievements in these areas and provide a platform for researchers to share recent insights and tools, communicate their work, share open problems, and build new collaborations. The goals of the workshop are to (1) bring together researchers in combinatorics and graph theory to communicate and exchange ideas; (2) promote open problem-sharing and discussions among participants; (3) expose junior researchers to the latest developments in these areas; and (4) broaden and stimulate the research of junior, female, and underrepresented researchers.The field of combinatorics concerns problems and techniques in discrete settings. It is closely related to other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from evolutionary biology to computer science and from logic to statistical physics. Graph theory is one of the oldest parts of combinatorics, and it has numerous natural connections to other areas. The workshop will feature two plenary speakers and eight early-career speakers. Moreover, we plan to organize an open problem session and a discussion session that allows participants of the workshop to exchange insights and ideas on open problems that are relevant and interesting to the larger mathematics and computer science community.
