Description of the workshop:
Since the pioneer work of Tamari (Tamari lattice) in the 1950s and Stasheff (associativity up to homotopy) in the 1960s, it has been very apparent that the combinatorics and the geometry of associativity underpin a wide range of contexts in pure mathematics. More recently, associahedra and related polytopes have been arising in a number of research areas which at a first glance appear far apart from each other (cluster theory, combinatorics, group theory, quiver representations, symplectic geometry, toric geometry).
The purpose of this workshop is to gather together experts in some of these areas who will give lectures and mini-courses to establish a common context in which connections between various research direction can be fruitfully discussed, and the missing links between them can be unravelled.
