Dimers: Combinatorics, Representation Theory and Physics


  • Elebash Recital Hall, CUNY Graduate Center 365 5th Avenue New York, NY, 10016 United States (map)

Dimers:
Combinatorics, Representation Theory and Physics



Summer School: August 14 - 18, 2023
Conference: August 21 - 25, 2023

Dimer models and related structures appear in various areas of mathematics and physics, ranging from cluster algebras to new approaches to scattering amplitudes in quantum field. The summer school will introduce graduate students to key areas of research in this field. The workshop will be dedicated to recent developments in the area.
