Speaker: Mehtaab S. Sawhney (Columbia University)Title: Quasipolynomial Bounds for the Corners TheoremAbstract:We prove quasipolynomial bounds for the corners theorem for general abelian groups. The proof draws on a number of themes in additive combinatorics, including recent work of Kelley-Meka on 3-term arithmetic progressions, work on almost periodicity, and work of Conlon, Fox, and Zhao on densification. Based on joint work with Michael Jaber, Yang P Liu, Shachar Lovett and Anthony Ostuni.
