About CCG

The combinatorics related to Coxeter groups play a crucial role in many areas of algebra such as graph theory, hyperplane arrangement theory, matroid theory, building theory and many more. This conference explores this crossroads, in particular its aim is to highlight the importance of combinatorial methods for approaching Coxeter group related topics, such as in the recent developments concerning Chow polynomials arising from Coxeter groups. The focus of this workshop is to foster new and existing connections between young researchers in algebra and combinatorics by giving them the opportunity to meet, exchange and start new collaborations.

The workshop starts on Wednesday (30.09) at 9:30 a.m. and ends Friday (02.10) in the afternoon.

Sponsors / Acknowledgments

This conference is funded by the TRR 358 "Integral Structures in Geometry and Representation Theory" as well as by the SPP 2458 "Combinatorial Synergies".

Titles & Abstracts

Coming soon

Abstracts and talk titles will be published after the deadline.

To reach Bielefeld, you can use the following ways:

  • By air: There are several close airports that have a one way connection from the corresponding main station of the cities via Deutsche Bahn (German train system) to Bielefeld Main Station (Bielefeld Hauptbahnhof):
    • Hannover (HAJ)
    • Düsseldorf (DUS)
    • Berlin (BER)
    The international airport in Frankfurt am Main (FRA) is also an option, but then you need to change trains in order to come to Bielefeld via Deutsche Bahn. We recommend in this case to evade passing through Cologne (Köln) main station.
  • By train: The nearest train station is that of Bielefeld (Bielefeld Hauptbahnhof). German train is not reliable so please plan with enough time to switch trains or take delays into account.
  • By car: Bielefeld is well-connected to the A2/A33 freeway. The address for the University is Universitätsstraße 25, 33615 Bielefeld. There are several options for free parking at the University.
  • In order to reach the University we recommend using the tram line 4 in direction "Lohmannshof" and get off at "Universität". All tram lines in Bielefeld share the same three stops in the city center which are "Hauptbahnhof", "Jahnplatz" and "Rathaus". The tram is not free you need to have a valid ticket in order to use it otherwise you might get fined.
