with talks starting at 11am and coffee available beforehand from 10.30am.

The speakers are:

Mark Jerrum (QMUL)
The ferromagnetic Potts model: phase transition,

David Gamarnik (MIT)
A combinatorial approach to the interpolation method and scaling
limits in sparse random graphs

Benny Sudakov (UCLA)
Ramsey numbers of graphs and hypergraphs

Günter M. Ziegler (Berlin)
Some centrally-symmetric polytopes derived from perfect graphs

Adrian Bondy (Lyon)
Switching Reconstruction
