Organized By: Ben Green (University of Cambridge), Bryna Kra (Northwestern University), Emmanuel Lesigne (University of Tours), Anthony Quas (University of Victoria), Mate Wierdl (University of Memphis) Furstenberg's proof uncovered the connection between combinatorial results and ergodic theory, and his ergodic theoretic proofs of combinatorial statements had unforeseen consequences within ergodic theory itself. Furstenberg and others introduced certain classes of dynamical systems and ergodic theoretic structures, and their study has become of independent interest. Moreover, the better understanding of the underlying ergodic theory has provided new combinatorial results, some of which have yet to be proven by any other method.

The programme will build on this cross-fertilisation. It is particularly timely for a number of reasons: methods from mathematical physics are beginning to make their mark on previously intractable combinatorial problems; increasing computer power, together with the wide availability of symbolic-algebra packages, has brought the possibility of exploration of non-trivial examples;

What is Combinatorics? Excerpt from a paper of the Combinatorics and Optimization Department at the University of Waterloo / Ontario Visit also Bill Chen's The Combinatorics Net Combinatorics is the mathematics of discretely structured problems. Although its boundaries are not easily defined, combinatorics includes the theories of graphs, enumeration, and designs. It is a subject which in the past was studied principally for its aesthetic appeal. Today's modern technology with its vital concern for the discrete has given combinatorics new challenges and a new seriousness of purpose. In particular, since computers require discrete formulations of problems, combinatorics has become indispensable to modern computer science. Major Areas of Combinatorics Enumeration Enumeration is concerned with determining the number of structures with prescribed properties, and is a frequently used tool in mathematics. Many enumeration problems arise from ranking and significance testing in statistics, from probability theory, from telephone networks and from mathematics itself. Extensive calculations are often necessary, and the field of computational enumeration is an important one. The task of getting a computer to evaluate formulae obtained by applying enumerative methods is one requiring considerable experience both with computers and with combinatorics. Combinatorial Designs The study of designs deals with a very important and central problem of combinatorial theory, that of arranging objects into patterns according to specified rules. The principal mathematical tools employed are graph theory, number theory and linear and abstract algebra. The construction of magic squares is an example of a design problem, and before the start of the nineteenth century such problems were mainly of recreational interest. In more recent times the concept of a geometry involving only finitely many points has been developed, generalized, and built into the elegant and useful theory of combinatorial designs. Today this area embodies the mathematical tools of such applied areas as the design of experiments, tournament scheduling, information retrieval and coding theory.

Sixth Czech-Slovak International Symposium on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Algorithms and Applications Dedicated to Jarik Nesetril on the occasion of his 60 th birthday Prague, July 10-15, 2006 Home Photos Invited Speakers Social Events ... Contact Jarik Ne¹etøil is one of the best known Czech mathematicians. In today's world of narrowing specialization, the broadness of his research is astonishing. He strongly influenced the development of Discrete Mathematics in both our countries and created what is now often referred to as the Prague school of Combinatorics. The year of the 6th Czech-Slovak symposium is also the year of his 60th birthday. We are happy to celebrate his birthday by dedicating the symposium to him. The Conference is organized by the DIMATIA Center of Charles University, in cooperation with the majority of Czech and Slovak universities and academic institutions. It is the sixth in a series of symposia which started with the 1963 Smolenice meeting and continued in 1974, 1982 (Prague), 1990 (Prachatice) and 1998 (Prague) The program will be devoted (but not restricted) to subjects in contemporary Combinatorics and Graph Theory involving also relationships and applications in Algebra, Algorithms, Topology, Probability and Statistics, Mathematical Logic, Computer Science and other fields.

A Research Training Network of the European Community Algebraic Combinatorics in Europe (ACE) (September 1, 2002 - August 31, 2005) Overview The Teams Programme Open Positions Activities ... An article about the network Project overview When a variety of fields meets combinatorics The origins of Algebraic Combinatorics lie in the desire to advance combinatorial theory from the state as a ``bag of various, isolated tricks" (as it is often seen) to an organised body of algebraic theories that bring order into seemingly disorder. Of course, Gian-Carlo Rota's name has to be mentioned here. He started this development by the introduction of the theory of , and the systematical use and development of umbral calculus in the 60's and 70's. Since then many more algebraic theories have evolved and are still being developed, e.g., theory of "species" and "generatingfunctionology" combinatorial representation theory symmetric functions and tableau calculus combinatorial topology (to mention just a few), bringing increasing insight in and understanding of combinatorial structures. Today, Algebraic Combinatorics concerns itself with the study of combinatorial problems arising from other branches of mathematics and, on the other hand, with the application and use of techniques coming from other parts of mathematics to combinatorial problems. At the heart of the subject there is the development of algebraic theories for the solution of such problems. The implied interactions with other fields are mutually beneficial and concern particularly

1. Partially Ordered Sets Elementary Definitions. A poset partially ordered set ) is a set P with a binary relation such that for all a b c P a a if a b and b c then a c if a b and b a then a b If a b and a b we write a b . We say that b covers a if a b and there does not exist c such that a c b . A subset C of P is called a chain if for any a b C , either a b or b a . A subset A of P is called an antichain if for any two distinct a b A , neither a b nor b a Examples. P Z , the set of integers, ordered by the usual order P is a set of divisors of a given natural number n P is a set of subsets of a given set S , ordered by set inclusion It is often convenient to draw a poset diagram with dots representing the elements of P and a decending line connecting b with a whenever b covers a Fig 1. Dilworth's Theorem. Consider the poset P P C C C where: C C C There are other ways of decomposing P into disjoint chains, but a quick inspection shows that you cannot do it with less than 3 disjoint chains. On the other hand, there is an antichain in P with 3 elements, namely: A There are other antichains in P but a quick inspection shows that you cannot find an antichain with more than 3 elements. So the minimum number of chains that partition
