Frontiers in Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science (25w5348)

The Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics will host the "Frontiers in Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science" workshop in Hangzhou, China from June 8 to June 13, 2025.

Combinatorics and theoretical computer science are two closely related disciplines that play a pivotal role in solving complex real-world problems and advancing technology. This 5-day workshop on “Frontiers in Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science” aims to bring together some of the brightest minds from these two disciplines, fostering collaboration, innovation, and the exchange of cutting-edge research ideas.

The topic would reflect a broad range of areas including but not limited to: the applications of analytical, algebraic and probabilistic techniques in extremal combinatorics and graph theory, combinatorial problems arising from discrete geometry, analysis of Boolean functions, randomized algorithms, and combinatorial optimization. During the event, the participants will discuss the recent major breakthroughs in these areas, as well as several long-standing open problems that will likely demand a diverse set of techniques for their eventual resolution. This meeting will provide an opportunity for researchers with common interests to convene in-person and engage in intensive collaboration.

The Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (IASM) in Hangzhou, China, and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) in Banff, are collaborative Canada-US-Mexico ventures that provide an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station in Banff is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology, and Mexico's Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT).
