On the workshop, we are going to cover two years of the development
of combinatorial methods in geometry and mathematical physics. Besides topics
that are traditionally present in the workshop agenda, notably, cluster algebras and
topological recursion, we are going to organize discussion on new trends in the field
including applications to cohomological field theories and the related combinatorial
problems related to enumerations of maps loosely called Hurwitz numbers. We also
address the rapidly developing applications to quantum Riemann surfaces and to
knot theory and knot invariants. We are also going to cover the development of
topological recursion as regarding Gromov--Witten invariants, Hitchin systems, and
other non-Abelian-flavored applications.
We hope to bring together specialists actively working in the field
for exchanging ideas in the inspiring scientific environment of early
summer 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.
Key speakers include: J. E. Andersen (QGM, Aarhus), G. Borot (MPIM),
B. Dubrovin (SISSA), B. Eynard (Saclay), V. Fock (Strasbourg),
S. Fomin (Univ. of Michigan), R. Kashaev (Geneve), M. Kazarian (Steklov and HSE)
D. Korotkin (Concordia Univ.)
Melissa Liu (Columbia Univ.), A. Marshakov (Moscow), M. Mazzocco (Loughborough Univ.),
A. Mironov (ITEP and LPI, Moscow),
P. Norbury (Melbourne), R. Penner (Caltech), V. Roubtsov (Angers),
S. Shadrin (UvA), M. Shapiro (Michigan State Univ.), A. Zabrodin (Moscow),
Don Zagier (MPIM and College de France), P. Zograf (St.Pb.), D. Zvonkine (ParisVI)
Organizing Committee:
Leonid Chekhov (Steklov and Poncelet), Sergei Lando (HSE), Igor Krichever (HSE and Columbia Univ.),
Armen Sergeev (Steklov), Sergei Nechaev (Poncelet),
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. For a limited number of participants,
the organizers will provide reasonable accommodation for
free/budget price. With the
support of the Higher School of Economics, we hope to be able to provide
accommodation for the invited speakers and younger researchers in the
Guesthouse of the HSE. 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
