Discrete Mathematics Day 2011: June 9, 2011
Program pdf. file
In the framework of the doctoral program DK, on June, 9, 2011, a scientific meeting with the title Discrete Mathematics Day will be organized. The guest University is TU Graz. It is expected that all members of the DK program, both professors and students, will attend the meeting.
There will be one plenary talk, and short talks and poster presentations by the DK students.
Plenary talk: Prof. Krattenthaler (University of Vienna)
Title: Fuß-Catalan Combinatorics
Abstract: The past few years have seen the emergence of a new research branch at the
interface of combinatorics, algebra and geometry: "Fuß-Catalan combinatorics," as some
people call it. It has been observed that there are several sets of objects associated
to reflection groups, such as the (generalised) non-crossing partitions of Armstrong,
the generalised cluster complex of Fomin and Reading, certain regions in the extended Shi
arrangement, the geometric chains of Athanasiadis, etc., which are all enumerated by the
(Fuß)-Catalan numbers associated to the underlying reflection group. Why this is so is
only partially understood. I shall give a (definitely incomplete) survey of these recent
developments.
