Interplay between statistical mechanics, graph theory, computational complexity and holomorphic dynamics.

June 10th and 11th of 2021 (held via Zoom).

The conference is over, but you can find videos and slides for the talks below.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from these four disciplines in hopes of stimulating interaction and new progress.

Schedule (all times are Eastern US Daylight Time):

Times in Amsterdam are 6 hours later than those listed here, so both sessions start at 15:00 for participants there.
