Workshop: Topology and Geometry in a Discrete Setting
November 28, 2016 - December 2, 2016
ICERM at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.
This workshop focuses on building bridges by developing a unified point of view and by emphasizing cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques from geometry, topology, and combinatorics. New experimental evidence is crucial to this goal. The workshop emphasizes the computational and algorithmic aspects of the problems in topics including: Concentration of maps and isoperimetry of waists in discrete setting, configuration Space/Test Map scheme and theorems of Tverbeg type, Equipartitions of measures, social choice, van Kampen-Haefliger-Weber theory for maps of simplicial complexes, combinatorics of homotopy colimits, and discrete Morse theory.
