• 2026 Summer School on Combinatorics and Algorithms (2026 조합론 및 알고리즘 여름학교)

    Bldg. E11, KAIST

    The 2026 Summer School on Combinatorics and Algorithms is a venue for students and early-career researchers to learn selected topics in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. It will be a great opportunity for young and aspiring researchers to study topics which are important but not covered during the lectures in the university classes. Website:

  • Jinyoung Park (박진영), A reformulation of Talagrand’s Discrete Convexity Conjecture

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    The "Convexity Conjecture" by Talagrand asks, roughly speaking, whether one can "create convexity" in a bounded number of steps regardless of the dimension of the ambient space. Talagrand also proposed a discrete version of this conjecture, calling it his "lifetime favorite problem" and offering a $1,000 prize for its solution. While the continuous version of

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Hadwiger famously conjectured that every $K_h$-minor-free graph is properly $(h-1)$-colourable. This talk will present the following improper analogue of Hadwiger's Conjecture: for fixed $h$, every $K_h$-minor-free graph is $(h-1)$-colourable with monochromatic components of bounded size. The number of colours is best possible regardless of the size of monochromatic components. This solves an open problem of

  • 2026 Combinatorics Workshop (2026 조합론 학술대회)

    Konjiam Resort, EW Village, B2, Meeting Room OPUS2

    Combinatorics Workshop (조합론 학술대회) is an annual conference for researchers in combinatorics and related areas in Korea. It was started in 2004 by the Yonsei University BK21 Research Group. Since 2013, this workshop has been advised by the committee of discrete mathematics of the Korean Mathematical Society.
