Recent Trends in Additive Combinatorics
September 9 to September 12, 2004
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Terry Tao and Van Vu

Workshop topics:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on four 
inter-related themes:

1.  Long arithmetic progressions and the Szemeredi regularity lemma

2.  The Erdos-Szemeredi sum-product conjecture, the Erdos
distance set problem, and Szemeredi-Trotter type problems
in various dimensions and fields.

3.  Freiman's inverse theorem and sum-sets

4.  The Kakeya conjecture in finite fields, and related problems
from harmonic analysis.

There have been a number of recent breakthroughs in each
of these fields involving new techniques, and goal of the workshop
is to popularize these new techniques to people working in the
neighboring fields. 

Application deadline:
June 9, 2004
