Conference on Graphs and Analysis
June 4-8, 2012
Institute for Advanced Study and Center for Computational Intractability at Princeton University
Princeton, New Jersey
Organizers
Laszlo Lovasz, Balazs Szegedy, Kati Vesztergombi and Avi Wigderson
One of the unexpecting emerging interactions between seemingly distant areas in mathematics is between graph theory and analysis. One such link is the theory of continuous limits of discrete structures. This theory has applications in computer science, probability theory, the theory of quasirandomness, number theory, statistical physics, and elsewhere. Further examples of interactions include the theory of measurable graphs, connections with ergodic theory, function norms related to graphs, analytic methods in extremal graph theory, and differential equations on graphs.
The conference will focus on connections between graph theory and analysis. It is open to other areas of, and ideas about, this interaction. Only a small number of tutorials and state-of-art lectures will be organized in advance (2-3 a day), the rest of the time will be reserved for ad hoc presentations and informal discussions.

Transportation, Accommodations and Food
Information regarding transportation and accommodations in the Princeton area can be found at ww.princetonol.com. Please note that if you are staying on Route 1, you should inquire whether the hotel has a shuttle service to and from the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS).
Because June is a very busy month with graduations and weddings in the Princeton area, it may be wise to make hotel accommodations as soon as possible.
Please let us know if you wish to share accommodations by clicking here. A list will be compiled and sent to those interested in sharing.
Dining Hall
Conference attendees are expected to pay for their lunch. Approximate range of prices is $4.00 for a salad and $9.00 for an entree. Vegetarian lunches will be available. Cash is the only method of payment accepted in the dining hall. Credit cards and personal checks are not accepted.
Partial Travel Support
We have limited funds available for partial travel support for junior people (students/postdocs) attending the conference. Interested parties should send the following to Shafon McNeil (smcneil@ias.edu), School of Mathematics, Einstein Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540.
- List the website that contains your CV and list of Publications
- Description of interests and accomplishments
- Reference letter by a mathematician who is familiar with your research
- Name of faculty reference letter writer
- Email of faculty reference letter writer (valid email address required)
It is your responsibility to make sure that the reference letter arrives by March 15, 2012. We will not contact the faculty writer.
