Combinatorics is the art of counting. Its main goal is to, given a set, determine how many elements it contains. Relevant areas of research at Michigan Tech are enumerative and algebraic combinatorics ...

2019 Colloquia in Combinatorics Two consecutive one-day events hosted by QMUL and LSE 2019 sees the thirteenth year of the Colloquia in Combinatorics: each year, we present a dozen talks covering a ...

2024 sees the seventeenth year of the Colloquia in Combinatorics: each year, we present a dozen talks covering a wide range of topics of interest to all those working in combinatorics or related ...

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...

Combinatorics researchers are still trying to figure out how low they can go. Will they be able to push the upper limit all the way down to the best known lower limit, ...

The mathematician Ben Green of the University of Oxford has made a major stride toward understanding a nearly 100-year-old combinatorics problem, showing that a well-known recent conjecture is “not ...

The study of alternating sign matrices (ASMs) occupies a central position in enumerative combinatorics, linking intricate algebraic methods with models from statistical physics. ASMs are square ...

Marton supposed that her conjecture is true for all groups. This has yet to be shown. The new paper proves it for a particular kind of group, which takes as its elements lists of binary numbers like ...

The Combinatorics Study Group normally meets at 2pm on Fridays in the Maths Seminar Room. Do check this page in advance of the meeting in case there are any changes. The current seminar organisers are ...

The beginnings of combinatorics in India date back to Bharata's Natyasastra and the last chapter of the work Chandahsastra (Sanskrit Prosody) by Pingala (c. 300 BCE).
