**Spring School and Workshop on Polytopes**
Mars 11-15, 2019, Ruhr University Bochum
**Spring School Monday & Tuesday**
The Spring School is designed for advanced bachelor, master and PhD
students. The aim is to prepare the participants in such a way that they
can follow the lectures of the subsequent workshop. It consists of three
crash courses:
Geometry of Polytopes, Monday (2x2h), Tim Römer (Osnabrück),
Random Polytopes, Tuesday (2h), Pierre Calka (Rouen),
Face Enumeration, Tuesday (2h), Hailun Zheng (Michigan).
**Workshop Wednesday to Friday**
The Workshop's topics include (but are not limited to)
face enumeration,
the study of special classes of polytopes, such as simplicial,
balanced, centrally symmetric and flag polytopes,
high-dimensional aspects and threshold phenomena,
asymptotic and approximation properties.
The variety of topics is reflected by the list of invited speakers:
Imre Bárány (Budapest),
Martin Henk (Berlin),
Eran Nevo (Jerusalem),
Isabella Novik (Seattle),
Matthias Reitzner (Osnabrück),
Elisabeth Werner (Cleveland).
The principal goal is to bring together researchers having a
probabilistic or a non-probabilistic angle on these topics, to exchange
ideas and to stimulate new collaborations. Additionally to invited
speakers' talks there will be a limited number of 30 minutes contributed
talks. The latter are selected among the registered participants by the
organisers.
