In two years passed since the time of the 2nd Workshop the dramatic
development brought together combinatorics inspired by matrix models
and by the equations of the cut-and-join type resulting in
constructing 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 and investigating the
related algebraic structures. Although it was always the general
belief that these two fields are related more closely than was
anticipated, no solid evidence was provided until the very recent
development in the description of hyperbolic knots and related
dualities.
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 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. Organizing Committee:
Leonid Chekhov, Liza Kryukova,
Sergei Lando, Armen
Sergeev, and Michael Tsfasman 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. The organizers provide reasonable accommodation for
free/budget price at the
Guest House for visiting professors at the Higher School of Economics. 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
