SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT


of the International Conference
LEONHARD EULER AND MODERN COMBINATORICS:
Applications to Mathematical Logic, Representation
Theory, Mathematical Physics and Geometry

which will be held from June 1 till June 7, 2007 at the Euler International Mathematical Institute (St.Petersburg, Pesochnaya naberezhnaya, 10). This year our meeting is a satellite conference (see http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/imiplanC.html) of the Congress dedicated to the 300th Anniversary of Leonhard Euler's Birth, http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2007/Euler300/

Program Committee

  • A. Blass (Univ. of Michigan, USA)
  • E. Griffor (Univ. of Michigan, USA)
  • A. Kechris (Caltech, USA)
  • Yu. Matiyasevich, vice-chairman (POMI, St.Petersburg)
  • A. Okounkov (Berkeley, USA)
  • A. Razborov (Princeton, USA; MIAN, Moscow)
  • W. Rytter (Warsaw Univ., Poland)
  • J. Steprans (York Univ., Canada)
  • A. Vershik, chairman (POMI, St.Petersburg)
  • Zhang Yi, vice-chairman (Sun Yat-sen Univ., China)
The conference will focus on the overview of Euler's contribution to mathematics and try to draw a wide picture of modern combinatorics and its applications. The logic part of the conference is within the framework of "Methods of Logic in Mathematics'2007" project, which is supported by the NSF (USA).

A special day will be devoted to the short talks of young mathematicians.

The conference fee is 240 USD. The fee for students is 60 USD.
For Russian participants who work inside Russia, the fee will be covered by the grant of Russian Basic Research Foundation (if our application is approved). Unfortunately we cannot reimburse the expenses of foreign participants by the Russian grants. People who work outside Russia should find their own resources to support their trip. On the other hand, we will provide free lunches and the banquet for the conference participants.

The deadline for registration is April, 25 .

IF YOU NEED A RUSSIAN VISA, we ask you to fill in the visa form at the same web site as soon as possible. The Institute will provide you with an invitation needed for visa formalities. The invitation for a business visa will be authorized by a governmental department and will imply obtaining a visa nearly automatically, but it takes more than a month, so we almost have no time to issue such an invitation. The invitation for a tourist visa may be sent in few days. The processing costs for the invitation are 30 Euro per person (http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/EIMI/2007/LEMC/visa.html).

If, besides the invitation described above, you need also one for the administration of your institution, please, contact the Euler Institute programme coordinator Mrs. Elena Novikova .

Accommodation will be arranged at nearby hotels (we'll do our best to arrange it for reasonably low price). A cheap accommodation in a student hostel may also be possible. Please, send your hotel request right now: the hotels are overfilled because of several great events in St. Petersburg in the beginning of June.

If you have some special accommodation requests (say, you prefer a downtown hotel, or you come with accompanying persons, etc.), you are invited to contact Mrs. Elena Novikova.

Transport information will be given in the third announcement. Please, inform Mrs. Novikova about the means of transportation and arrival time as soon as this is available.

We ask those who did not send the abstracts of the talk to do it not later than April, 25 by e-mail: lemc@imi.ras.ru

With best regards,
Organizing Committee
