Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit aktuellem Thema: LIMITS OF DISCRETE STRUCTURES Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach March 31-April 5

A recently emerging and fast growing topic in mathematics considers very large finite structures as approximations of infinite analytic objects. This approach enables one to use a variety of tools from analysis to study graphs, hypergraphs, permutations, subsets of groups and many other fundamental structures. There are several applications in extremal combinatorics, Fourier analysis (also in a higher order version of it), property testing, group theory, topology and many other areas. The subject is very rich and many of its aspects are discussed in the recent book [29] by L. Lovász. The goal of the workshop is to present a landscape of beautiful ideas developed by researchers from various fields.
