  (York University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nWe de
 fine a generalization of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian and determin
 e its topology in the case of real projective space. We find the spaces to
  be PL manifolds with boundary which are homotopy equivalent to another re
 al projective space of smaller dimension. In certain cases we have Cohen-M
 acaulay triangulations. Time permitting we will discuss joint work with N.

 natorics/2/">Iterated Models for Social Networks</a>\nby Erin Meger (Mount
  Allison University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nCom
 plex networks are said to exhibit four key properties: large scale\, evolv
 ing over time\, small world properties\, and power law degree distribution
 . The Preferential Attachment Model (BarabásiAlbert\, 1999) and the ACL
  Preferential Attachment Model (Aiello\, Chung\, Lu\, 2001) for random net
 works\, evolve over time and rely on the structure of the graph at the pre
 vious time step. Further models of complex networks include: the Iterated 
 Local Transitivity Model (Bonato\, Hadi\, Horn\, Pralat\, Wang\, 2011) and
  the Iterated Local Anti-Transitivity Model (Bonato\, Infeld\, Pokhrel\, P
 ralat\, 2017). In this talk\, we will define and discuss the Iterated Loca
 l Model. This is a generalization of the ILT and ILAT models\, where at ea
 ch time step edges are added deterministically according to the structure 
 of the graph at the previous time step. We will also discuss the Iterated 
 Global Model\, which considered creating a new graph based on subsets of n
 odes rather than relying on the underlying structure. For each model\, we 
 will prove that they satisfy the complex network properties.\n\nEn ligne /

 nian</a>\nby Melissa Sherman-Bennett (Harvard University) as part of CRM-S
 éminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nScott (2006) showed that the coordinate 
 ring of (the affine cone over) the Grassmannian is a cluster algebra. More
 over\, the seeds for this cluster algebra consisting entirely of Plucker c
 oordinates are combinatorially well-understood: they can be obtained from 
 Postnikov's plabic graphs for the Grassmannian. In work with K. Serhiyenko
  and L. Williams\, we showed that Postnikov's plabic graphs give seeds for
  a cluster structure on (open) Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian. How
 ever\, the situation for Schubert varieties is a bit more mysterious than 
 for the Grassmannian. In particular\, plabic graphs naturally give rise to
  two different cluster algebras\, depending on if one uses "source labelin
 g" or "target labeling". These two cluster algebras are both equal to the 
 coordinate ring of the (affine cone over the open) Schubert variety\, but 
 have different frozen variables and different cluster variables. A priori\
 , they give rise to different positive parts of the Schubert variety. I'll
  discuss work with C. Fraser\, in which we determine the precise relations
 hip between these two cluster algebras: loosely\, the seeds of the target 
 cluster algebra can be rescaled by Laurent monomials in the frozens to obt
 ain seeds of the source cluster algebra. Along the way to proving this res
 ult\, we find many more cluster structures on Schubert varieties given by 
 "generalized" plabic graphs.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir des détails

  Anna Weigandt (University of Michigan) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM
 \n\n\nAbstract\nThe geometric naturality of Schubert polynomials and the r
 elated combinatorics of pipe dreams was established by Knutson and Miller 
 (2005) via antidiagonal Gröbner degeneration of matrix Schubert varieties
 . We consider instead diagonal Gröbner degenerations. In this dual settin
 g\, Knutson\, Miller\, and Yong (2009) obtained alternative combinatorics 
 for the class of vexillary matrix Schubert varieties. We will discuss gene
 ral diagonal degenerations\, relating them to a neglected formula of Lasco
 ux (2002) in terms of the 6-vertex ice model. Lascoux's formula was recent
 ly rediscovered by Lam\, Lee\, and Shimozono (2018)\, as "bumpless pipe dr
 eams." We will explain this connection and discuss conjectures and progres
 s towards understanding diagonal Gröbner degenerations of matrix Schubert
  varieties. This is joint work with Zachary Hamaker and Oliver Pechenik.\n

 niversity of Minnesota) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\n
 The Grassmannian Gr(k\,n) admits an action by a finite cyclic group of ord
 er n via the cyclic shift automorphism. The combinatorial structures under
 lying both total nonnegativity and clusters for Gr(k\,n) are cyclically eq
 uivariant\, which is one explanation for the particular elegance of these 
 structures in the case of Gr(k\,n). We will explore the L-shift locus in G
 r(k\,n)\, i.e. the subvariety of points fixed by the Lth power of the cycl
 ic shift. Steven Karp recently showed that the 1-shift locus consists of f
 initely many points. On the other hand the n-shift locus is Gr(k\,n) itsel
 f. Our theorems interpolate between these extremes: we provide a simple ge
 ometric description of the L-shift locus for any L\, describe its total no
 nnegativity locus as a stratified space\, and propose an atlas of generali
 zed cluster charts (in the style of Chekhov-Shapiro) whose clusters are to
 tal positivity tests.\n\nEn ligne /Web : Pour obtenir des détails concern

 art of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the 1950s\, K. T. Chen in
 troduced the iterated-integral signature of a piecewise continuously diffe
 rentiable path. Up to a natural equivalence relation\, this determines the
  initial path. In general\, the signature of a path can be seen as a multi
 dimensional time series. When the terminal time is fixed\, the signature o
 f a path can be seen as tensors and the calculation of the signature becom
 es a standard problem in data science. In this talk\, I want to look at th
 e signatures of paths from a combinatorial perspective in the shuffle alge
 bra. We will discuss some recent results\, also with an algebraic taste\, 
 and we will discuss an alternative proof of de Bruijns formula.\n\nEn lign

 Abstract\nA Latin square of order $n$ is an $n$  times  $n$ array filled w
 ith $n$ symbols such that each symbol appears only once in every row or co
 lumn and a transversal is a collection of cells which do not share the sam
 e row\, column or symbol. The study of Latin squares goes back more than 2
 00 years to the work of Euler. One of the most famous open problems in thi
 s area is a conjecture of Ryser\, Brualdi and Stein from 60s which says th
 at every Latin square of order $n\\times n$ contains a transversal of orde
 r $n-1$. A closely related problem is 40 year old conjecture of Brouwer th
 at every Steiner triple system of order n contains a matching of size $(n-
 4)/3$. The third problem wed like to mention asks how many distinct symbol
 s in Latin arrays suffice to guarantee a full transversal? In this talk we
  discuss a novel approach to attack these problems.  Joint work with Peter
  Keevash\, Alexey Pokrovskiy and Benny Sudakov.\n

 \nby Olya Mandelshtam (Brown University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACI

  statistical mechanics\, probability\, and combinatorics. It also has rema
 rkable connections with orthogonal symmetric polynomials in many variables
  such as Macdonald and Koornwinder polynomials. In this talk\, I will disc
 uss new formulas for Macdonald polynomials (joint work with Corteel and Wi
 lliams) that arise from the study of the ASEP on a ring\, and introduce a 
 new notion of quasisymmetric Macdonald polynomials (joint with Corteel\, H

 d on column strict shifted plane partitions and show that the joint distri
 bution on each family of objects is the same.  Alternating sign trapezoids
  are a generalisation of alternating sign triangles which were introduced 
 by Ayyer\, Behrend\, and Fischer.  They proved that alternating sign trian
 gles are equinumerous with alternating sign matrices.  Column strict shift
 ed plane partitions were essentially introduced by Andrews and they genera
 lise descending plane partitions.  Fischer has recently established a thre
 efold refined enumeration on both of these classes with the same joint dis
 tributuion of statistics.  In this talk\, I will extend her result by addi
 ng a forth statistic: the number of &#8722\;1s on alternating sign trapezo
 ids and the corresponding statistic on column strict shifted plane partiti
 ons which generalises the notion of special parts on descending plane part

 lez (UCLA) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe shuffle c
 onjecture was a big open problem which gave a combinatorial formula for th
 e Frobenius character of the space of diagonal harmonics in terms of certa
 in symmetric functions indexed by Dyck paths. This conjecture was finally 
 solved after 14 years by Carlsson and Mellit via the introduction of a new
  interesting algebra denoted $A_{q\,t}$. This algebra arises as an extensi
 on of the affine Hecke algebra by certain raising and lowering operators a
 nd acts on the space of symmetric functions via certain complicated plethy
 stic operators. Afterwards Carlsson\, Mellit\, and Gorsky showed this alge
 bra and its representation could be realized using parabolic flag Hilbert 
 schemes and in addition to containing the generators of the elliptic Hall 
 algebra. Despite the various formulations of this algebra\, computations w
 ithin it are extremely complicated and non-intuitive. In this talk I will 
 discuss joint work with Matt Hogancamp where we construct a new topologica
 l formulation of $A_{q\,t}$ and its representation as certain braid diagra
 ms on an annulus. In this setting many of the complicated algebraic relati
 ons of $A_{q\,t}$ and applications to symmetric functions are trivial cons
 equences of the skein relation imposed on the pictures. In particular\, ma
 ny difficult computations become simple diagrammatic manipulations in this
  new framework. If time permits\, I will also discuss a categorification o
 f our construction as certain functors over the derived trace of the Soerg

 conference\, open to all)</a>\nby See schedule on web page (UQAM) as part 
 of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nPlease visit the conference webp
 age: https://sites.google.com/view/sswc/home The aim of this school is to 
 develop the participants knowledge and enthusiasm towards algebraic combin
 atorics. Through high-level presentations\, the students will learn multip
 le combinatorial aspects linked to representation theory. They will also h
 ave the opportunity to try out what they have learned in exercise periods.
  Every day\, a postdoctoral researcher will introduce a research topic tie
 d to the introductory classes. In addition\, introduction to programming i
 n Python and Sage\, very useful tool for coding problems in algebraic comb
 inatorics\, will take place at the end of the day.  Schubert calculus\, sy
 mmetric functions\, cluster algebra\, Tamari lattices\, frieze combinatori
 cs and cluster categories are not only ways to study representation theory
 \, but have many links between them. On one hand\, cluster algebras\, intr
 oduced by Sergey Fomin and Andrei Zelevinsky\, can be studied using the co
 mbinatorics of friezes\, on the other hand\, they can be studied algebraic
 ally using cluster categories. Moreover\, they have a correspondence with 
 double Bruhat cells. In the case of Flag varieties and grassmanians\, the 
 decomposition into Bruhat cells gives way to decomposition into Schubert c
 ells. These can be obtained using Schubert calculus. Schubbert polynomials
  are a generalization of Schur functions\, which are symmetric functions. 
 Using sub-word complexes\, Schubert varieties are tied to the study of Tam
 ari Lattices. These lattices correspond to exchange graphs of some cluster
  algebra. Therefore\, at the end of the school\, participants will be able
  to reflect on many representation theory problems using multiple aspects.
   Finally\, our goal is to promote the visibility and accomplishment of wo
 men in mathematics. Even though the school is open to people of all gender
 s\, only women were invited to give lectures and talks. It seems important
  to us to give the occasion to students to interact accomplished women in 
 mathematics\, since they are underrepresented among teachers in mathematic
 s in universities.\n

 by Maria Gillespie (Colorado State University) as part of CRM-Séminaire d

 n\, due to join work with Cavalieri and Monin\, is in terms of a new class
  of parking functions. The second\, in joint work with Griffin and Levinso

 an be used to prove that the total degree of the embedding is the odd doub

 Gaetz (MIT) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nThe 1/3-2/3 
 Conjecture\, originally formulated in 1968\, is one of the best-known open
  problems in the theory of posets\, stating that the balance constant of a
 ny non-total order is at least 1/3. By reinterpreting balance constants of
  posets in terms of convex subsets of the symmetric group\, we extend the 
 study of balance constants to convex subsets C of any Coxeter group. Remar
 kably\, we conjecture that the lower bound of 1/3 still applies in any fin
 ite Coxeter group\, with new and interesting equality cases appearing.We g
 eneralize several of the main results towards the 1/3-2/3 Conjecture to th
 is new setting: we prove our conjecture when C is a weak order interval be
 low a fully commutative element in any acyclic Coxeter group (a generaliza
 tion of the case of width-two posets)\, we give a uniform lower bound for 
 balance constants in all finite Weyl groups using a new generalization of 
 order polytopes to this context\, and we introduce generalized semiorders 
 for which we resolve the conjecture.We hope this new perspective may shed 
 light on the proper level of generality in which to consider the 1/3-2/3 C
 onjecture\, and therefore on which methods are likely to be successful in 
 resolving it. This is joint work with Yibo Gao.\n

 Klein (Université de Minnesota) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nA
 bstract\nGeometric vertex decomposition and liaison are two frameworks tha
 t have been used to produce similar results about similar families of alge
 braic varieties.  In this talk\, we will describe an explicit connection b
 etween these approaches.  In particular\, we describe how each geometrical
 ly vertex decomposable ideal is linked by a sequence of elementary G-bilia
 isons of height 1 to an ideal of indeterminates and\, conversely\, how eve
 ry G-biliaison of a certain type gives rise to a geometric vertex decompos
 ition.  As a consequence\, we can immediately conclude that several well-k
 nown families of ideals are glicci\, including Schubert determinantal idea
 ls\, defining ideals of varieties of complexes\, and defining ideals of gr
 aded lower bound cluster algebras.  This connection also gives us a framew
 ork for implementing with relative ease Gorla\, Migliore\, and Nagels st

 QAM) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nEternal domination 
 in a graph is a dynamic process which protects a graph from an infinite se
 quence of vertex attacks.  In eternal $k$-domination\, a set of guards see
 ks to protect the graph using a distance $k$ dominating set.  There is an 
 attack that occurs and the guards move positions up to distance $k$\, to c
 over the attacked vertex\, subsequently another attack occurs and they mus
 t move from their present positions.  The minimum size of a set such that 
 the graph can be protected from attacks indefinitely is called the eternal
  $k$ domination number of the graph\, denoted $\\gamma_{all\,k}^{\\infty}(
 G)$.  In this talk\, we will focus on the case where $k=2$\, and detail th
 e result for the case of perfect $m$-ary trees of depth $d$\, $T$:  $$\\ga
 mma_{all\, 2}^{\\infty}(T)=1+\\frac{m^d-1}{m^2-1}$$  In general\, the comp
 utation of this parameter is not known for most graphs\, and determining i
 f a set is an eternal $k$-dominating set is a difficult problem.  Other re
 sults will be discussed\, and open problems towards a reduction on trees w

 \nThe totally positive flag variety is the subset of the complete flag var
 iety Fl(n) where all Plücker coordinates are positive. By viewing a compl
 ete flag as a sequence of subspaces of polynomials of degree at most n-1\,
  we can associate a sequence of Wronskian polynomials to it. I will presen
 t a new characterization of the totally positive flag variety in terms of 
 Wronskians\, and explain how it sheds light on conjectures in the real Sch
 ubert calculus of Grassmannians. In particular\, a conjecture of Eremenko 
 (2015) is equivalent to the following conjecture: if V is a finite-dimensi
 onal subspace of polynomials such that all complex zeros of the Wronskian 
 of V are real and negative\, then all Plücker coordinates of V are positi
 ve. This conjecture is a totally positive strengthening of a result of Muk
 hin\, Tarasov\, and Varchenko (2009)\, and can be reformulated as saying t
 hat all complex solutions to a certain family of Schubert problems in the 
 Grassmannian are real and totally positive.\n

 by Nantel Bergeron (York University) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\
 n\nAbstract\nIl y a quelques années\, avec François et Jean-Christophe A
 val\, nous avions étudié le quotient de lanneau des polynômes en n va
 riables (commutatives) par lidéal engendré par les polynômes quasisym
 étriques. Nous avions obtenu comme joli résultat que la dimension de ce 
 quotient est donnée par le nombre de Catalan C_n. Par la suite\, nous avi
 ons étendu notre étude au cas des polynômes quasisymétriques diagonaux
  (en deux jeux de variables commutatives) et proposé une conjecture élé
 gante à propos de la série de Hilbert bigraduée du quotient associée. 
 Cette conjecture nest dailleurs toujours pas résolue. \n \nRécemment
 \, notre groupe de recherche à linstitut Fields a amorcé lextension 
 de ce type de problématique au contexte de variables «anticommutatives»
 . Mike Zabrocki y a énoncé une conjecture affirmant que le quotient des 
 polynômes en deux jeux de variables (l'un commutatif et l'autre anticommu
 tatif) par lidéal des fonctions diagonalement symétriques admet une de
 scription en termes de compositions densembles. Il vaut la peine de soul
 igner que\, si on ajoute un second jeu de variables commutatives (pour avo
 ir alors trois jeux de variables)\, létude de l'espace quotient résult
 ant devient liée à la fameuse conjecture delta. Tout ceci est fascinant\
 , mais beaucoup plus difficile à démontrer quil nous semblait au dépa
 rt\, et demeure donc non-résolu pour l'instant. \n \nJe vais dabord pr
 ésenter le résultat que nous avons obtenu pour le cas des polynômes qua
 sisymétriques avec un seul jeu de n variables anticommutatives. Je soulig
 nerai ensuite à quel point la structure de lidéal concerné est plus i
 ntrigante que celle correspondant au cas symétrique. Puis je montrerai co
 mment la description du quotient est très jolie. Enfin\, je discuterai du
  cas «SuperQSym» de deux jeux de variables (l'un commutatif et l'autre a
 nticommutatif). \n \nCe travail en cours est en collaboration avec Kelvin 
 Chan\, Yohana Solomon\, Farhad Soltani et Mike Zabrocki\; tous du groupe d
 e combinatoire algébrique au Fields.\n

 s et morphiques le long de sous-suites polynômiales</a>\nby Pierre Popoli
  (Université de Lorraine) as part of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstrac
 t\nLes suites automatiques ne sont pas des suites pseudo-aléatoires car e
 lles ont une complexité en sous-mots et une complexité dexpansion trop
  faibles ainsi quune corrélation dordre 2 trop grande.  Ces suites so
 nt alors trop prévisibles malgré quelle possèdent une complexité d
 ordre maximal grande.  Cependant\, de récents résultats suggèrent que d
 es sous-suites polynomiales de certaines suites automatiques\, comme la su
 ite de ThueMorse\, sont de meilleurs candidats pour être des suites pse
 udo-aléatoires.  Une généralisation naturelle des suites automatiques s
 ont les suite morphiques\, données par le point fixe dun morphisme prol
 ongeable pas nécessairement uniforme.  Dans cet exposé\, je parlerai de 
 mes résultats sur les bornes inférieures de la complexité dordre maxi
 mal de la suite de ThueMorse et de la fonction somme des chiffres en bas

 Nouvelle arrivée à l'UQAM et au LACIM\, je me présenterai en vous parla
 nt d'un travail récent fait avec un doctorant de l'Université Sorbonne P
 aris Nord\, Daniel Torres\, et Laure Petrucci avec qui j'ai coencadré Dan
 iel. Les systèmes de calcul à hautes performances actuels sont rapides\,
  mais le déséquilibre entre les coûts de communications et de calculs s
 'accentue de plus en plus en faveur des coûts de communications. Par cons
 équent\, une classe d'algorithmes dits à évitements de communications p
 ermet de minimiser les communications\, au prix de calculs en plus. Ces ca
 lculs additionnels introduisent des propriétés algorithmiques et algébr

  aux pannes sans modifications importantes dans le chemin critique du calc
 ul. Je présenterai ces algorithmes\, la façon dont nous avons vérifié 
 leur robustesse \, et les coûts associés sur les performances.\n

 art of CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nMany classical constructions
  with semistandard Young tableaux can be described by formulas consisting 
 of the operations of addition\, subtraction\, and taking the minimum of se
 veral numbers. By de-tropicalizing these formulasthat is\, by replacing 
 the operations min\,+\,- with addition\, multiplication\, and divisionon
 e obtains subtraction-free rational maps with remarkable properties. \n \n
 In this talk\, we consider de-tropicalizations of several families of comb
 inatorial maps connected to the representation theory of GL_n\, namely\, c
 rystal operators and combinatorial R-matrices. We study the invariants of 
 various subsets of these maps\, and describe (conjectural) generating sets
  in each case. We view these invariants as crystal-theoretic analogues of 
 the invariants of various combinations of SL_m\, SL_n\, S_m\, and S_n acti
 ng on a polynomial ring in an m times n matrix of variables. \n \nThis is 
 based on joint work with Ben Brubaker\, Pavlo Pylyavskyy\, and Travis Scri
 mshaw.\n

 \n\nAbstract\nThe Eulerian idempotents of the symmetric group generate a f
 amily of representationsthe Eulerian representationsthat have connecti
 ons to configuration spaces\, equivariant cohomology\, and Solomons desc
 ent algebra. These representations are defined in terms of S_n\, but can b

 ations. I will describe this story in detail and present recent work gener
 alizing it to the hyperoctahedral group (e.g. Type B). In this setting\, c
 onfiguration spaces will be replaced by certain orbit configuration spaces
  and Solomons descent algebra is replaced by the Mantaci-Reutenauer alge
 bra. All of the above will be defined in the talk\, which is based on the

 f CRM-Séminaire du LACIM\n\n\nAbstract\nDelta and Theta operators are fun
 damental in the theory of modified Macdonald polynomials. Theta operators 
 were recently used to give and prove the compositional version of the Delt
 a Conjecture\; and they also conjecturally give a symmetric function descr
 iption for the $S_n$ coinvariants in the polynomial ring with two commutin
 g and two anti-commuting sets of variables. We will start by introducing s
 ome of these important conjectures and theorems. \n \nWe will then give a 
 new combinatorial model for describing general applications of Delta and T
 heta operators when $t=1$ in terms of what we call $\\gamma$-Parking Funct
 ions. We will end by highlighting a few of the important methods used in p
 roving this result\, one of which is an application of the combinatorial f
 ormula for the forgotten symmetric functions.\n

 mitive Eulerian polynomial $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$ of a central hyperplane Arr
 angement $\\mathcal{A}$. It is a reparametrization of the cocharacteristic
  polynomial of the arrangement. Previous work (2021) implicitly showed tha
 t this polynomial has nonnegative coefficients in the simplicial case. If 
 $\\mathcal{A}$ is the arrangement corresponding to a Coxeter group $W$ of 
 type A or B\, then $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$ is the generating function for the 
 (flag)excedance statistic on a particular subset of $W$. No interpretation
  was found for reflection arrangements of type D. \n \nWe present an alter
 native geometric and combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of 
 $P_\\mathcal{A}(z)$ for all simplicial arrangements $\\mathcal{A}$. For re
 flection arrangements of types A\, B\, and D\, we find recursive formulas 
 that mirror those for the Eulerian polynomial of the corresponding type. W
 e also present real-rootedness results and conjectures for $P_\\mathcal{A}
 (z)$. This is joint work with Christophe Hohlweg and Franco Saliola.\n
