Workshop

The theme of this workshop is the interplay between recurrence in ergodic theory and additive combinatorics. In addition to the now classical results on the existence of arithmetic progressions in large sets, we focus on the parallels among the ergodic theoretical, harmonic analytical and combinatorial methods. During the workshop, we plan several minicourses, including the following topics: recurrence in ergodic theory, correspondence principle, nilsystems in ergodic theory, and existence of arithmetic progressions in primes.
