Algebraic, Topological and Complexity Aspects of Graph Covers & Winter School in Harmonic Functions on Graphs and Combinatorial Designs

The workshop's main focus is on graph coverings and their applications in different areas of theoretical computer science such as models of computation, computational complexity, and algebraic graph theory. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on these diverse ends of graph coverings, to introduce their approaches and results to one another, and to try to pursue joint research combining these areas. Towards this end we plan a small number of survey talks, several open problem sessions, and ample time for discussions and problem solving...

Part of the program will consists of a series of introductory lectures on harmonic functions on graphs and on combinatorial designs aimed at PhD. students and young researchers.
