[DMANET] Fwd: BlockCourse: Towards the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa Conjecture (FU Berlin)

BlockCourse: Towards the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa Conjecture
FU Berlin
6-23 October 2014

http://www-ma2.upc.edu/jrue/BlockCourse.html


--Scope--
The course is intended for master students, PhD-students and
postdoctoral researchers interested in the field of Additive
Combinatorics and related areas.

Participants can join any part of the course, depending on their
individual background and interest.

--Topics and lecturers--

Week 1: Giorgis Petridis (University of Rochester): Classical and new
results in Additive Combinatorics
6 - 10 October 2014

Week 2: Julia Wolf (University of Bristol): Analytic techniques in
Additive Combinatorics
13 - 16 October 2014

Week 3: Tomasz Schoen (Adam Mickiewicz University): The Polynomial
Freiman-Ruzsa Conjecture
20 - 23 October 2014

--Audience--
The course is addressed to graduate students and postdocs of
Mathematics or Computer Science, who are interested in additive
combinatorics, applications of Fourier analysis in discrete
mathematics, and related fields.

--Organizers--
The Block Course is organized within the Research Training Group
"Methods for Discrete Structures" and organized by Jun. Prof. Juanjo
Rué and Prof. Tibor Szabó.

--Participation/Stipend--
Applications for participation in the course (the whole or part of it
-- please indicate the weeks you plan to participate in), with a short
curriculum vitae and scientific background, should be sent by June 30,
2014, preferably by email, to Jun. Prof. Juanjo Rué at jrue (at)
zedat.fu-berlin.de

There is a limited amount of financial support available for
PhD-students or for advanced Master/Diploma students in a field
related to the topics of the course.

Applications for financial support, with curriculum vitae, copies of
certificates, thesis, areas of interest, and a letter of
recommendation (sent directly by the letter writer) should be sent by
May 31, 2014, preferably by e-mail, to Jun. Prof. Juanjo Rué at jrue
