Categorification and Computation in Algebraic Combinatorics
Semester Program
The past decade has been one of the most exciting and fruitful times in the history of combinatorics and representation theory. One of the overarching themes in this story is the search for richer structures which secretly underpin the classical problems in the field — these might manifest themselves as algebraic or geometric structures, or even as diagrammatic categories. This semester program is driven by the need to interweave machine learning, graphical computer software, and computability perspectives and techniques into the study of these diagrammatic, algebraic, and geometric structures.
