On the workshop, we are going to cover two years of the development
of combinatorial methods in geometry and mathematical physics
with an emphasise on new tools, notably, topological recursion,
methods related to quantum Riemann surfaces and knot invariants, and algebraic
methods, developed in relation to solutions of enumeration problems:
Hurwitz numbers, Gromov--Witten invariants, exclusion processes and other.
We also address issues of dualities arising in particular between cluster and
field-theoretical theories.
We hope to bring together specialists actively working in the field
for exchanging ideas in the inspiring environment of early
summertime in Moscow. Traditionally, the workshop takes place at three
locations: the Independent University of Moscow (3 days), the
Steklov Mathematical Institute (2 days) and the Higher School of
Economics (1 day). The Independent University is situated in one of
picturesque areas of old downtown Moscow whereas the Steklov
Mathematical Institute and the Higher School of Economics are
situated near Leninsky Prospect
--- one of the main Moscow streets --- and in the area where most of
Academic Institutions and the Moscow State University are located. Organizing Committee:
Leonid Chekhov (Steklov and Poncelet), Sergei Lando (HSE), Igor Krichever (HSE and Columbia Univ.),
Armen Sergeev (Steklov), Michael Tsfasman (Poncelet and IPPI),
and Liza Kryukova (Poncelet). We expect short series
(2-3) of 1-hour-long lectures, 1-hour long research talks, and
shorter 30-minutes talks of younger researchers.
The registration fee is
150 USD for foreign participants (paid upon arrival by those who can cover it from their grants or
institutions) and 3000 roubles for participants from the FSU
(also paid for those who can cover it from their grants). This covers
also the welcome party and the conference dinner. The organizers provide reasonable accommodation for
free/budget price at the
Guest House for visiting professors at the Higher School of Economics. All nationals except for
some countries of the FSU need visas to enter Due to limited funding,
the organizers cannot cover travel expenses of the participants when
traveling outside For the registration,
please, contact the Organizing Committee at the earliest opportunity.
It will be extremely helpful if you include a tentative
title of your talk. Contact emails of the
organizing committee chekhov@mi.ras.ru (Leonid Chekhov) lando@hse.ru (Sergei Lando) Go to the Laboratoire
