Dear colleagues,

Hello, it is Sin-Myung Lee from KIAS.

This is the second announcement of the upcoming workshop "Diagrammatics for Combinatorics, Algebra, and Topology" on July 20-24, held at Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon.

The workshop is intended to provide an open, accessible space to learn and discuss diagrammatic methods in combinatorics, algebra and topology, welcoming everyone from students to working mathematicians.

To this end, the workshop will begin with three lecture series (3 hours each plus exercise sessions) covering the following keywords:

Ben Elias (University of Oregon) : Soergel bimodules and their diagrammatics

Matthew Hogancamp (Northeastern University)* : link invariants, categorification of braid groups

Linhui Shen (Michigan State University)* : braid varieties, cluster structures via weaves, connections with Legendrian knots and representations

 (*:subject to change, title and abstract will be updated on the website shortly)

and then conclude with six research talks for more recent developments, delivered by

Elise Catania (University of Minnesota - Twin Cities)

Donghyun Kim (Ewha Womans University)

Myungho Kim (Kyung Hee University)

Hankyung Ko (Uppsala University)

Mikhail Mazin (Kensas State University)

Nathan Williams (University of Texas at Dallas).

whose titles and abstracts can be found from our website: https://sites.google.com/view/dcat2026/home
