Explore advanced mathematical concepts at the intersection of discrete mathematics, number theory, and theoretical physics through this comprehensive conference featuring 26 specialized lectures. Delve into computability-focused problems drawn from renormalization theory, combinatorial physics, geometry, and evolution equations, with emphasis on both commutative and noncommutative frameworks. Examine computational approaches utilizing combinatorial structures including graphs, trees, words, automata, and semirings, alongside classical mathematical structures such as operators, Hopf algebras, and special functions. Investigate cutting-edge research in Fock spaces associated with Coxeter groups, topological data analysis in visual art perception, hypergeometric counting of restricted set partitions, and Manin-Schechtman orders for directed graphs. Study tropical algebraic geometry through the Nullstellensatz and Positivstellensatz, partition counting by genus, and effective homology for hypersurface periods. Discover quantum entanglement solutions to classical problems, integer eigenvalue phenomena, and Magnus polynomials in free associative algebras. Learn about limit shapes from skew Howe duality, tensor models, perturbative field theory applications to statistical mechanics, and loop vertex expansion techniques. Explore categorified crystal bases on quantum coordinate rings, Macdonald dualities in higher genus, and quantum relativistic Toda Hamiltonians connected to cluster algebras. Examine symmetric functions of directed graphs, elimination of generators in normal forms, quantum invariant differential operators on reflection groups, and polyhedral realizations of affine types. Investigate string field theory from geometrical perspectives, graph complex actions on Poisson structures, computer algebra solutions to combinatorial equations, twisted quantum double models, and combinatorial topological quantum field theories with their geometrical interpretations.
