About the conference

A gathering of combinatorialists from India and abroad, hosted jointly by The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai and the Indian Institute of Science.

Combinatorics has grown into a meeting point for much of modern mathematics — its questions surface in representation theory and algebra, in probability and statistical physics, in geometry, and in theoretical computer science. This conference brings together researchers working across that range for a week of talks and conversation at IISc.

The programme features invited talks from international and Indian speakers. Details on contributed talks, a poster session, and participation for students and early-career researchers will be announced as planning continues.

Themes
  • Algebraic & enumerative combinatorics
  • Graph theory & structural graph theory
  • Representation theory
  • Extremal & probabilistic combinatorics
  • Combinatorics & mathematical physics
  • Combinatorics in computer science
