***** Workshop "ULTRA-COMBINATORICS" ***** Application of ultrafilters in combinatorial number theory, and related topics January 24-25, 2013 Centro di Ricerca Matematica "E. De Giorgi", Pisa (Italy) www.crm.sns.it Scientific Committee: Imre Leader (Univ. Cambridge, UK); Dona Strauss (Univ. Leeds, UK) Mauro Di Nasso (Univ. Pisa, Italy). Organization: CRM - Centro di Ricerca Matematica "E. De Giorgi" Chair: Mauro Di Nasso, University of Pisa. Email: ultracombinatorics@dm.unipi.it WEB: http://www.crm.sns.it/event/268 Up-to-date info can also be found at: http://www.dm.unipi.it/~dinasso/ultracombinatorics --- DESCRIPTION --- This workshop aims to bring together European researchers interested in the applications of ultrafilters in combinatorics of numbers, and related topics. The talks will present recent results in this area and provide an updated overview of the subject. The main goal of this meeting is to disseminate information about the various techniques related to the use of ultrafilters (including algebra in the space betaN and nonstandard analysis) and their potential to attack open problems in Ramsey theory and number theory. --- INVITED SPEAKERS --- * Mathias Beiglboeck (Univ. Wien, Austria) * Sabine Koppelberg (Berlin Freie Univ., Germany) * Imre Leader (Univ. Cambridge, UK) * Jaroslav Nesetril (Charles Univ., Czech R.) - to be confirmed - * David Ross (Univ. Hawaii, USA & Univ. Oslo, Norway) * Dona Strauss (Univ. Leeds, UK) --- REGISTRATION --- People who plan to participate in this workshop must register at the official CRM web page of the workshop: http://www.crm.sns.it/event/268 There are no registration fees to attend this workshop. Please note that the organization of ULTRA-COMBINATORICS is not involved in reservations of Hotels. --- PROGRAM --- The workshop will take place at CRM - Centro di Ricerca Matematica "E. De Giorgi" of Pisa, and will consist of two sessions for invited talks, and two sessions of contributed talks. Registration will start at 9:00 am of Thurday, January 24, 2013. The first session of talks will start at 10:00 am of the same day, and the last session will end by 6:00 pm of the following day, Friday January 25, 2013.
