We kindly invite you to a lecture cycle entitled

Probabilistic combinatorics

by

Professor Peter Borg

(University of Malta)

which will take place on

October 6, 2026r. at 10¹⁵ - 12⁰⁰  AM& 2¹⁵ - 4⁰⁰ PM

Summary: The teaching will be in the mathematical area of probabilistic combinatorics, with particular focus on applications of probability theory to extremal graph theory. The content will be as follows:

• Finite probability spaces
• Independent random experiments
• The Lovász local lemma
• Linearity of expectation and the probabilistic pigeonhole principle
• Applications in combinatorics
