The workshop will focus on recent developments and classical ideas
in the interplay between, on the one hand, structural properties of algebras,
properties of their representations and other intrinsic algebraic
questions with, on the other hand,  combinatorics and dynamics. We are particularly
interested to discuss problems where combinatorial methods appear as
a main ingredient in the solution of an algebraic problem or where arguments
of dynamical nature help to understand better some algebraic
 phenomenon. Topics of our attention include, but are not limited to
the following:

  • Combinatorics of defining relations, particularly combinatorics and dynamics of words;
  • Properties of various generating series associated to rings, Hilbert series, growth, combinatorics of primes;
  • Combinatorics in Lie theory;
  •  Novikov structures, pre-Lie algebras, connections with Feynman Graphs, Leibnitz algebras and generalizations; other structures with origins in physics;
  • Constructive versions of mentioned above and some other problems (like Quillen-Suslin thorem), in particular, related to Groebner bases; 
  • Representation spaces, dynamics of Gl_n action;
  • Actions of groups over rings, lower K-groups over noncommutative rings;
  • Operator algebras and semigroup actions on Banach spaces, their (infinite-dimensional) dynamics.
