Summary:  The course covered the following topics: 

Linear Codes associated to higher dimensional varieties:

Geometric approach to linear codes via the language of projective systems. The following specific classes of linear codes and some of their fundamental properties including determination of basic parameters will be discussed. 

  • Codes associated to Veronese varieties (Projective Reed-Muller Codes)
  • Grassmann codes
  • Schubert codes

Betti numbers of linear codes and matroids:

The interaction of Analysis and Differential Geometry has led to some of the most striking achievements of mathematics during the last few decades. Analytic approaches to problems in Riemannian, pseudo-Riemannian or complex geometry and topology has given rise to very powerful tools in analysis.

The school will present different aspects of computational methods in commutative algebras and algebraic geometry and their applications in various branches of mathematics, to introduce students and young researchers who can apply these methods in their work. Furthermore this will create an opportunity to establish a network of mathematicians from the region for collaboration on joint research projects with possibility of connections with leading experts on the subject.

The overall aim is to spread Modern Representation Theory of Finite Dimensional Algebras, and its fascinating links to major mathematical subjects, to young mathematicians from developing countries.

This is a 10-days school of mathematics & theoretical computer science for students from Iran and neighbor countries. It is devoted to mathematical aspects of tilings in the various contexts where they appear, with an effort to achieve coherence of the program:

This school is about a smooth transition from classical graph theory to modern approaches. At first extension of coloring results to homomorphisms of digraphs are presented. Next lectures would be on algorithmic graph theory with classic approaches such as LexBFS ordering being combined with modern ideas. Mixing algorithms with applications, there will be lectures on distributed algorithms. School will conclude by lectures on how to use power of randomness, which is a rather new modern and powerful method.

The aim of this school is to provide courses for graduate students and young researchers. These courses will focus on Control Theory (and, in particular, Geometric Control and Control of Partial Differential Equations) and also Information Theory. In addition, applications of Control and Information Theory as well as their interactions with other fields such as Economy and Physics will be studied. The scientific contents of the school can be decomposed in two parts. The first part is made of 3 courses (of 6 hours each) in Information Theory and one course in Geometric Control.
