Title: Recent advances in combinatorics

Description: 
On October 19 and 26, Nati will talk about “The entropy method in combinatorics”, using a survey article by Radhakrishnan and lecture notes based on a course taught by Tim Gowers. Then Yuval will talk for a while about the recently proved conjecture of Jeff Kahn and Gil Kalai. Further plans will be made according to how things progress.
