The 11th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory will take place at the University of Notre Dame on May 2-3 2026, sponsored by the Department of Mathematics. Three plenary speakers will each give two talks, aimed at graduate students and postdocs in combinatorics and graph theory. There will also be some short talks and a problem session, and ample down time for collaboration and discussion. The workshop will benefit graduate students and junior researchers in the field of discrete mathematics, broadly defined, working at institutions in the area around Lake Michigan.
Plenary Speakers:
- Igor Pak, UCLA – Combinatorial inequalities and combinatorial interpretations
- Lutz Warnke, UCSD – Concentration inequalities: beyond worst-case changes
- Fan Wei, Duke – Removal lemmas
Additionally Igor Pak will give a colloquium in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame on Friday May 1, 4pm. All participants are invited to arrive early to attend this talk.
For more information about the workshop, please contact the organizer, David Galvin (dgalvin1@nd.edu).
