Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference 2015

肯塔基大学数学系将于2015年3月27日至29日在肯塔基州列克星敦举办第11届研究生组合学年会（GSCC 2015）。GSCC为研究组合学的研究生提供了一个独特而宝贵的机会，让他们体验参加研究会议的好处。除了主题演讲外，GSCC只关注研究生的演讲。此外，只有研究生、本科生和当地教授参加，会议提供了一个低压力的环境，学生可以在其中展示他们的研究，提高他们的演讲和教学技巧。GSCC还为研究生提供了一个与其他具有类似研究课题的年轻数学家交流的机会。这些会议可以导致潜在的联合研究项目和未来合作的机会。该奖项用于支付研究生参加者的旅费。第一届GSCC于2005年由明尼苏达大学主办，随后的会议分别在威斯康星大学（2006年）、华盛顿大学（2007年）、加州大学戴维斯分校（2008年）、肯塔基大学（2009年）、奥本大学（2010年）、宾夕法尼亚州立大学（2011年）、伊利诺伊大学-加州大学（2012年）、明尼苏达大学（2013年）和奥本大学（2014年）举行。2015年GSCC邀请了两位主讲人，每人做一个小时的演讲。讨论的主题将包括极值和概率组合，重点是图和超图，以及一系列组合主题，如分区理论、格点枚举和置换统计。会议的网址是https://sites.google.com/site/gsccuk2015。

The University of Kentucky Department of Mathematics will host the 11th annual Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference (GSCC 2015) in Lexington, Kentucky, March 27 - 29, 2015. The GSCC provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for graduate students whose research focuses on combinatorics to experience the benefits of taking part in a research conference. Apart from the keynote lectures, the GSCC focuses solely on graduate student talks. Furthermore, with only graduate students, undergraduates, and local professors in attendance, the conference provides a low pressure environment in which students can present their research and improve upon their presentation and teaching skills. The GSCC also provides an opportunity for graduate students to network by meeting other young mathematicians with similar research topics. These conferences can lead to potential joint research projects and opportunities for future collaboration. This award defrays travel costs for graduate student participants. The first GSCC was hosted by the University of Minnesota in 2005, with subsequent conferences held at the University of Wisconsin (2006), the University of Washington (2007), UC-Davis (2008), the University of Kentucky (2009), Auburn University (2010), Penn State University (2011), the University of Illinois-UC (2012), the University of Minnesota (2013), and again at Auburn University (2014). Two keynote speakers have been invited to each give a one hour lecture at the 2015 GSCC. Topics discussed will include extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, with focus on graphs and hypergraphs, and a range of combinatorial topics such as partition theory, lattice point enumeration, and permutation statistics.
