Lattice paths are fundamental objects that link a variety of fields of mathematics, computer science, and physics. The reason for their ubiquity is that they are well-suited to encode numerous objects (like random walks, continuous fractions, trees, planar maps, words, tilings…) and can reflect several aspects of these objects (q-analogues, critical exponents, conformal invariance, D-finiteness…). Thus, problems in various fields can be solved via the corresponding lattice path formulation.
Since lattice paths are — at the outset — reasonably simple combinatorial objects, the study of related probabilistic models is rich and attractive in its own right; this offers many formulas and challenging equations which are at the crossroads of several fields, forcing to develop new methods (like multivariate asymptotics, differential Galois theory, bijections, SLE, orthogonal polynomials, representation theory, heuristics from physics). In recent years, interest in research on lattice paths has intensified, as it spurred the investigation of intriguing problems at the interface of such diverse areas as enumerative combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics, computer algebra, asymptotic combinatorics, probability theory, combinatorial physics. The goal of this conference is to bring together leading researchers from these overlapping communities, to offer a panorama of discoveries made these last years. The main aim is to intensify the fruitful interactions between the researchers in these communities in order to make significant progress on the outstanding problems motivated by the combinatorics and analysis of lattice paths. This conference constitutes the 9th « International Conference on Lattice Path Combinatorics & Applications ». This series of conferences started in 1984 under the impulsion of Sri Gopal Mohanty. This year, the conference will consist of 18 long talks and a few shorter talks, leaving time for scientific discussions. More details on the history of the conference and on a post-conference special issue (where all attendees are welcome to submit their work) can be found on the International Conference on Lattice Path Combinatorics & Applications webpage. |
Les chemins sur réseau sont des objets fondamentaux qui apparaissent dans de nombreux champs des mathématiques, de l’informatique et de la physique. Cette ubiquité s’explique par leur capacité à coder des objets combinatoires divers (marches, arbres, cartes, mots, pavages, fractions continuées) et à en réfleter différentes facettes (q-analogues, exposants critiques, invariance conforme, D-finitude). De multiples problèmes peuvent ainsi être formulés et résolus en termes de tels chemins.
Les chemins sur réseau étant, de prime abord, une structure simple et naturelle, l’étude des modèles probabilistes afférents est riche et débouche sur des équations et des formules qui mènent à des défis pluridisciplinaires, forçant le développement de nouvelles méthodes (en asymptotique multivariée, théorie de Galois différentielle, bijections, polynômes orthogonaux, théorie des représentations, processus SLE, heuristiques issues de la physique). Ces dernières années, l’intéret pour ces objets a grandi et a mené à des problèmes intrigants, à l’interface de domaines variés, notamment en combinatoire énumérative, en combinatoire algébrique, en calcul formel, en combinatoire analytique, en théorie des probabilités, en physique combinatoire. L’objectif de cette conférence est de réunir des experts internationaux issus de ces communautés, d’offrir un panorama des nombreuses découvertes des dernières années, et d’intensifier les interactions entre ces communautés, afin d’aboutir à de nouveaux progrès sur des problèmes de premier plan trouvant leur source dans la combinatoire des chemins. Cet évènement constituera la neuvième session de la série « International Conference on Lattice Path Combinatorics & Applications », initiée par Sri Gopal Mohanty en 1984. Cette année, la conférence proposera 18 exposés longs et quelques exposés courts, laissant de surcroît du temps pour les échanges scientifiques. Pour plus de détails sur l’histoire de la conférence et sur un numéro spécial consacré aux thématiques de la conférence (où tous les participants pourront soumettre leur travail), on pourra se référer à la page International Conference on Lattice Path Combinatorics & Applications. |
