When: Sunday, May 13, 10am
Where: Schreiber 309
Speaker: Amir Yehudayoff, Technion
Title: Monotone expansion

Abstract:

The talk will start with a brief introduction to expander graphs. We shall then define and discuss monotone expanders. We will describe a construction of a family of monotone expanders that is based on a group-action. Finally, we shall describe the three steps of the proof, that follow recent works on growth and expansion, by Helfgott, and Bourgain and Gamburd.

Based on work with Jean Bourgain.
