[CPM-SPIRE-L] Course on combinatorics on words: April 15-25th in Amsterdam

(apologies for potential cross-posting)

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that Gabriele Fici will visit CWI, Amsterdam
to give a 2-week hybrid course on Combinatorics on Words, from April
15th to 25th, 2024

Organisation: The course will be from Mondays to Thursdays, 9:30-12:30
(24 hours in total), between April 15th and 25th, 2024.

Program: The first week is devoted to a general introduction to
Combinatorics on Words and the study of basic notions (factors,
borders, periods, powers, palindromes, etc.), and different mechanisms
for generating and classifying infinite words (morphisms, Toeplitz
words, avoidance of patterns, critical exponent, etc.).
The second week will be devoted to the study of important classes of
words: Lyndon words, Sturmian words, etc.
No prerequisite is needed, apart from very basic concepts in discrete
mathematics.

Please register as soon as possible (even if you plan to attend
online!) via the following link: https://forms.gle/vwTkowMr9Ff97bdS7

Hope to see many of you there!
Best regards,
Estéban Gabory and Hilde Verbeek
