At the crossroads of physics and mathematics : the joy of integrable combinatorics

A conference in the honor of Philippe Di Francesco's 60th birthday

will take place on June 24-26, 2024 in Saclay at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT, CEA and CNRS).

We will celebrate our friend and colleague Philippe Di Francesco with a scientific program focusing on his many research interests : conformal field theories, integrable systems, random matrices, enumerative and bijective combinatorics, bidimensional quantum gravity, tilings and arctic curves, cluster algebras... The list of speakers includes :

  * Guillaume Barraquand (LPENS, CNRS/École normale supérieure)
  * Denis Bernard (LPENS, CNRS/École normale supérieure)
  * Philippe Biane (LIGM, CNRS/Université Gustave Eiffel)
  * Alexei Borodin (MIT, to be confirmed)
