Combinatorics, Probability and Computing

Journal article

The main theme of the workshop was the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics and related fields. This area is evolving extremely quickly, with the introduction of powerful new methods and the development of increasingly sophisticated techniques, and there have been a number of very significant breakthroughs in the area in recent years. The workshop emphasized several of these recent breakthroughs, which include foundational results in the theory of random graphs and processes, and also applications of probabilistic techniques in Ramsey theory, design theory, and group theory, and of combinatorial techniques to problems in number theory, functional analysis, and high-dimensional geometry.
