| 3.Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry |
| Dates | 10 Jun 2013 → 15 Jun 2013 | [ID=529351]  |
| Location | Levico Terme, Italy |
| Abstract | Combinatorics and Algebraic Geometry have classically enjoyed a fruitful interplay. The aim of this series of lectures is to introduce recent development in this research area. The topics involve classical algebraic varieties endowed with a rich combinatorial structure, such as toric and tropical varieties. Combinatorial methods in problems such as syzygies, projective duality, compactifications and recent applications to neighboring fields, such as algebraic statistics, will be presented. |

| 22.ICERM Semester Program on "Network Science and Graph Algorithms" |
| Dates | 03 Feb 2014 → 09 May 2014 | [ID=517268]  |
| Location | ICERM, Providence, Rhode Island, United States |
| Abstract | The study of computational problems on graphs has long been a central area of research in computer science. However, recent years have seen qualitative changes in both the problems to be solved and the tools available to do so. Application areas such as computational biology, the web, social networks, and machine learning give rise to large graphs and complex statistical questions that demand new algorithmic ideas and computational models. At the same time, techniques such as semidefinite programming and combinatorial preconditioners have been emerging for addressing these challenges. |

This workshop will be an opportunity for researchers from diverse fields to get together and share problems and techniques for handling and analyzing graphs structures. The connections---mathematical, computational, and practical---that arise between these seemingly-diverse problems and approaches will be emphasized. |

| 25.ICERM Workshop: Electrical Flows, Graph Laplacians, and Algorithms: Spectral Graph Theory and Beyond |
| Dates | 07 Apr 2014 → 11 Apr 2014 | [ID=541983]  |
| Location | Providence, United States |
| Abstract | Spectral graph theory, which studies how the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian (and other related matrices) interact with the combinatorial structure of a graph, is a classical tool in both the theory and practice of algorithm design. The success of this approach has been rooted in the efficiency with which eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be computed, and in the surprisingly large number of ways that a graph's properties are connected to the Laplacian's spectrum---particularly to the value of its second smallest eigenvalue, ?2. However, while the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Laplacian capture a striking amount of the structure of the graph, they certainly do not capture all of it. Recent work in the field suggests that we have only scratched the surface of what can be done if we are willing to broaden our investigation to include more general linear-algebraic properties of the matrices we associate to graphs. A particularly fruitful example of this has been the study of Laplacian linear systems, where the interplay between linear algebra and graph theory has led to progress in both fields. On the one hand, researchers have used the combinatorial structure of the corresponding graphs to facilitate the solution of these linear systems, resulting in solvers that run in nearly-linear time. On the other hand, one can use these linear systems to describe the behavior of electrical flows on a graph, which has provided a powerful new primitive for algorithmic graph theory. This interaction has already led to improved algorithmic results for many of the basic problems in algorithmic graph theory, including finding maximum flows and minimum cuts, solving traveling salesman problems, sampling random trees, sparsifying graphs, computing multicommodity flows, and approximately solving a wide range of general clustering and partitioning problems. In addition, researchers have recently shown how to exploit a wide range of other algebraic properties of matrices associated to graphs, such as the threshold rank, cut norm, sensitivity to perturbation, or hypercontractivity of the eigenspaces, to achieve impressive algorithmic results. In this workshop, we will bring researchers together to study and advance this new emerging frontier in algorithmic graph theory. |

The goal of this conference is not just to honour his contributions and his impact on mathematics, but to also bring together researchers in discrete math whose work he has influenced, to share recent advances, and to forge stronger connections between researchers. This conference will be a celebration for the Canadian mathematical community and we invite researchers in combinatorics, matrix theory, and quantum information theory from all over the world to join us. |
