Discrete Math Seminar: Daniel Di Benedetto
Topic
An exposition of the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers theorem
Speakers
Details
This is the first of a two part expository talk on the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers theorem. This theorem, originally due to Balog and Szemerédi and later strengthened by Gowers, is one of the most important tools in additive combinatorics, with applications ranging from additive number theory to combinatorial geometry and harmonic analysis. In part one we will motivate the result by highlighting its importance and usefulness. In part two we will present a proof of the result. The proof that we present is a variant of Gowers’ graph theoretic proof, due to Sudakov, Szemerédi and Vu.
