Combinatorics, a branch of mathematics with powerful applications in modern physics, plays a significant role in fundamental areas such as enumerating Feynman diagrams and addressing discreteness in various approaches to Quantum Gravity. This workshop will highlight connections across different fields, encourage collaboration, and contribute to setting new scientific targets for the community.
The workshop is designed to build new bridges across adjacent disciplines, encouraging the exchange of ideas and the transfer of advanced mathematical tools from pure combinatorics to physics. By bringing together experts and young researchers, it aims to inspire mathematicians to explore topics relevant to physicists and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration.
In addition to fostering high-level scientific exchange, this workshop offers a platform for early-career scientists to present their work to a global audience, helping them build connections and advance their careers in a dynamic research environment.
The first 3 days will be devoted to a particular topic at the intersection of fundamental physics and combinatorics:
Day 1: Random Geometry for Quantum Gravity
Day 2: Causal Set Theory
Day 3: Combinatorics in Perturbative QFT
The 4th day will be dedicated to cross-disciplinary discussion.
The talks will be aimed at an audience with expertise in some area of combinatorics or theoretical physics in the broad sense – in particular, they will be accessible to those who work outside that specific topic.
