Workshop on Order and Structure in Geometry

Ordered structures arise naturally in many problems and proofs in discrete geometry. For example, the unit distance problem for convex polygons stimulated the extremal theory of 0–1 matrices. Similarly, the study of point-set configurations, known as the study of order types, plays an important role in geometric problems such as rectilinear crossing numbers and the happy ending problem.

The aim of the workshop, as part of the Simons Semester in Ordered Combinatorics, is to bring together researchers with various backgrounds to the common theme of studying ordered combinatorial structures that naturally arise from discrete geometric problems. Special emphasis will be given to presenting recent breakthroughs and major open problems.
