Seminaire de Mathematiques Superieures 2012: Probabilistic Combinatorics
Month: June 2012
Date: June 25--July 6
Name: Seminaire de Mathematiques Superieures 2012: Probabilistic Combinatorics
Location: University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada.
Description
One of the cornerstones of the probabilistic approach to solving combinatorial problems is the following guiding principle: information about global structure can be obtained through local analysis. This principle is ubiquitous in probabilistic combinatorics. It arises in problems ranging from graph colouring, to Markov chain mixing times, to Szemerédi's regularity lemma and its applications, to the theory of influences. The 2012 Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures brings together experts in probabilistic combinatorics from around the world, to explain cutting edge research which in one way or another exhibits this principle.
