Structure of the workshop

The workshop will consist of:

Alexander Barvinok, Enumeration of contingency tables and integer flows.
Stefan Felsner, Combinatorics of Orthogonal Surfaces
Sergei Fomin, Cluster complexes of bordered surfaces
Victor Reiner, A quasisymmetric function for matroids
Ileana Streinu, T. B. A.

Eric BabsonThe Topology of Maps between Graphs
Richard Ehrenborg, T. B. A.
Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov, Stiefel-Whitney characteristic classes of line bundles and graph colorings.
Christian HaaseTwo Constructions for Quadratic Gröbner Bases.
M. Ángeles Hernández-Cifre, The Roots of the Steiner Polynomial
Roy Meshulam, Topological Helly type theorems
Ed Swartz, Face enumeration on manifolds
Thorsten Theobald, Games of fixed rank - a hierarchy of bimatrix games
Afra Zomorodian, The Theory of Multidimensional Persistence



Tentative schedule

The Workshop is intertwined with the advanced course Combinatorial and Computational Geometry: Trends and topics for the future, so that each day will be divided between the two, in the following fashion:
