Innovations and Challenges in Extremal Combinatorics

Overview

Extremal Combinatorics is both a fundamental and rapidly evolving area of mathematics. Many of its questions naturally emerge from within mathematics as well as from practical applications. Over the past decade, numerous longstanding problems have been resolved and powerful new techniques have been developed, which in turn have left a significant impact on neighboring fields. These and other related groundbreaking advances will form the central focus of our workshop, “Innovation and Challenges in Extremal Combinatorics”.

This workshop, hosted at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (IMS), seeks to bring leading researchers specializing in combinatorics, graph theory, discrete geometry, and theoretical computer science, with the goal of fostering productive and lasting collaborations within the global community.

The program will cover a wide spectrum of topics, including (but not limited to) the use of algebraic, analytical, and probabilistic methods in extremal combinatorics and graph theory, combinatorial problems arising from discrete geometry, analysis of Boolean functions, and additive combinatorics.
