The Ramsey Numbers – New Results and New Perspectives

Speaker: Julian Sahasrabudhe, University of Cambridge

Location: Warren Weaver Hall 1302

Date: Monday, October 21, 2024, 3:45 p.m.

Synopsis:

In this talk, I will try to motivate the interest and some of the mystery in the Ramsey numbers R(k), which are fundamental quantities in combinatorics. I will go on to discuss some recent progress on our understanding of these numbers and make some connections to problems about the geometry of random variables in high dimensions.
