[DMANET] Fwd: BlockCourse Additive Combinatorics - FU Berlin (2nd announcement)

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,
