This is a mostly in-person seminar, with occasional talks online. The in-person talks will be in Gregory Hall 327, while the online talks will be hosted via Zoom. Please email Peter at pb38@illinois.edu to be added to the mailing list (in particular, to receive the zoom invitations).
The seminar is co-organized by József Balogh, Sasha Kostochka, and Peter Bradshaw.
