This conference will provide early-career researchers and graduate students, as well as established researchers, with access to cutting edge tools and ideas needed to explore the fruitful, new, and evolving area of strong matrix properties modeled on the Strong Arnol’d Property. These new strong properties have also energized significant progress in the study of related matrix invariants, such as maximum multiplicity of an eigenvalue and minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, and they have led to new connections with graph minors and graph propagation procedures. Additional connections have also given rise to new matrix theory questions and results; new forbidden minor characterizations; new minor-monotone graph parameters; and new graph theoretic questions and results.

Materials.  Some materials from the conference are available via the CBMS website.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
