================================================
TOPICS and LECTURERS:
1. Extremal Combinatorics and the Probabilistic Method -- an
Introduction (Tibor Szabo, FU Berlin)
2. Multiple Round Exposure in Random Structures (Mathias Schacht,
University of Hamburg)
3. Transference Principles (David Conlon, University of Oxford)
PROGRAM:
Lectures: Mon-Fri 09:00--12:00
Exercises: Tue-Fri, 16:00-18:00
February 27-March 2: Tibor Szabo
March 5-9: Mathias Schacht
March 12-16: Mathias Schacht/David Conlon
March 19-23: David Conlon
----------------------------
AUDIENCE:
The course is addressed to graduate students and postdocs of Mathematics
or Computer Science, who are interested in extremal combinatorics,
the theory of random graphs, probabilistic methods and related fields.
--------------------------
FORMAT:
A typical day will consist of a morning lecture (9:00-12:00) and
an exercise session in the afternoon (16:00-18:00).
The exercises are to be solved in small groups in the afternoon
and will later be discussed in the exercise session.
The language of the course is English.
