Conference: 9th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory

第九届密歇根湖组合数学和图论研讨会将于2024年4月13日至14日在西密歇根大学举行。讲习班将使在五大湖地区各机构工作的离散数学领域的研究生和初级研究人员受益。它将围绕三套两个教程讲座，重点是最先进的技术和结果，发言者认为是代表性不足的典型研究生序列和新兴技术上的发言者特别有资格阐述。学生和年轻教师也将进行简短的演讲。周末将有充足的计划外时间，允许新的研究合作开始，并继续积极的合作。初级参与者将与资深同事建立宝贵的联系，并在轻松和非正式的环境中接受他们的指导。2024年研讨会的讲师是大卫康伦（加州理工学院），Wes Pegden（卡内基梅隆大学）和Liana Yepremyan（埃默里大学）。将讨论的主题包括图密度之间的同态不等式，几何约束驱动的概率空间和图着色等。会议网站是https://sites.google.com/wmich.edu/dudek/9th-lake-michigan-workshopThis奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得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的支持。

The 9th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory will be held at Western Michigan University on April 13-14, 2024. The workshop will benefit graduate students and junior researchers in the field of discrete mathematics working at institutions in the Great Lakes area. It will be built around three sets of two tutorial lectures, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques and results that the speakers feel are underrepresented in typical graduate sequences and on emerging techniques on which the speakers are particularly qualified to expound. There will also be short talks by students and younger faculty members. There will be ample unscheduled time during the weekend, allowing new research collaborations to commence and active collaborations to be continued. Junior participants will establish valuable connections with more senior colleagues and receive guidance from them in a relaxed and informal environment. The tutorial speakers for the 2024 workshop are confirmed to be David Conlon (California Institute of Technology), Wes Pegden (Carnegie Mellon University), and Liana Yepremyan (Emory University).The topics that will be addressed include homomorphism inequalities between graph densities, probability spaces driven by geometric constraints, and graph colorings, among others.
