Combinatorial Structures in Geometry, Graphs, and Symmetry

Over the last half a century, Algebra, Combinatorics, and Discrete Geometry have undergone transformations due, in part, to the connections each of these areas have to other fields and the growth of computational approaches used in the study of theoretical mathematics. These areas are closely intertwined, with various algebraic, combinatorial, and geometric objects playing pivotal roles. This CIMPA school aims to highlight the interactions between these areas and emphasize that combinatorics is more than a tool, but a research area that creates bridges.
