EXCILL: Extremal Combinatorics at Illinois
Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
November 18-20, 2006
(Saturday to Monday before Thanksgiving)
Organizers: J. Balogh, Z. Füredi, S. Hartke, A. Kostochka, and D. B. West
website: http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~excill/
Topics to be discussed include extremal set theory, coloring theory for graphs and hypergraphs, Ramsey theory, cycles in graphs, discrete geometry, and probabilistic methods in combinatorics.
The program consists of six 50-minute lectures and up to 24 additional 25-minute invited talks: no contributed talks or parallel sessions. Altgeld Hall (the conference building, housing the Mathematics Department) will be open and available on Tuesday for attendees who wish to stay an extra day for informal collaborations on open problems.
Main speakers:
B. Bollobas, J. Kahn, D.J. Kleitman, M. Simonovits, R. Thomas, W.T. Trotter, and possibly V. Rodl.
Other invited speakers:
P. Balister, G. Chen, F. R. K. Chung Graham, R. Graham, J. Griggs, P. Haxell, M. Jacobson, T. Jiang, H. Kierstead, A. Kündgen, F. Lazebnik, D. Mubayi, A. Naor, V. Nikiforov, J. Pach, O. Pikhurko, R. Radoicic, N. Robertson, G. Sárko"zy, R. Schelp, B. Sudakov, P. Winkler, X. Zhu
There are no registration fees for the conference, but please tell us if you plan to come (to aid in planning). Email to excill@math.uiuc.edu.
Financial support is provided by the National Science Foundation, the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, the University of Illinois Department of Mathematics, and the University of Illinois Vice Chancellor for Research.
As a result, funds are available to defray a portion of the travel expenses of some attending graduate students and recent PhDs. Individuals desiring support should send email to
Attendees within driving distance who can pool transportation will help the support dollars go farther. We hope to decide on travel awards by the end of September.
Additional information will be added to the web site as it becomes available.
