Explore advanced mathematical concepts at the intersection of discrete mathematics, number theory, and theoretical physics through this comprehensive conference featuring 20 specialized lectures from leading researchers. Delve into cutting-edge topics including algebraic hypergeometric series, executable applied category theory, maximally dense sphere packings, and noncommutative birational operations on mathematical structures. Examine computational approaches based on combinatorial structures such as graphs, trees, words, and automata, alongside classical structures including operators, Hopf algebras, and special functions. Investigate applications to theoretical physics problems including renormalization, combinatorial physics, geometry, evolution equations, and noncommutative differential equations. Learn about crystal operators on cluster algebras, string cones and cluster varieties, tropical versions of Hilbert polynomials, and ambitropical convexity in mean payoff games. Discover enumerative combinatorics through trimer covers, Young tableaux with walls, and the density method for generation algorithms. Study advanced topics in algebraic geometry and linear logic, anomalous statistics of extreme random processes, and solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov differential equations. Gain insights into the geometric foundations of matter and physics, asymptotic distributions in trivalent maps, and Yang-Zagier generating functions through presentations by internationally recognized experts including Maxim Kontsevich and other distinguished mathematicians and physicists.
