After the 1st workshop took place in Moscow in June 2008, the
dramatic progress has been done in the field of bringing together
combinatorics inspired by matrix model techniques and by the
equations of the cut-and-join type to provide the generating
functions of many algebraic-geometrical invariants including the
Hurwitz numbers and symplectic invariants. At the same time, the
combinatorial description of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and
related quantization topics together with the related issues in
cluster algebras continue to thrive, including generalizations to
algebras of higher rank, constructing cycles on moduli spaces and
investigating the related algebraic structures including those of
the Schlesinger system type.
We hope to bring together specialists actively working in the field
for exchanging ideas in the environment of summer-fresh Moscow. The
workshop will take place at two locations: the Independent
University of Moscow (3 days) and the Steklov Mathematical Institute
(2 days). We recommend to reserve Saturday, 29th of May, for
sightseeing Moscow. The Independent University is situated in one of
picturesque areas of downtown Moscow; the Steklov Mathematical
Institute is 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. Organizing Committee:
Leonid Chekhov, Liza Kryukova,
Sergei Lando, Armen
Sergeev, and Michael Tsfasman We expect short series
(2-3) of 1-hour-long lectures and 1-hour long research talks. Among those who already
agreed to give a talk/series of lectures are J. Andersen
( 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. The organizers provide reasonable accommodation for
free/budget price (50 USD/night) at the Steklov Institute Guest House and at the
Guest House for visiting professors at the Higher School of Economy. 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 before May, 1th on the
first 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
