Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem
In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 6.2 --- Variants of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem
The Borsuk-Ulam theorem states that if f is a continuous function from S^n to R^n (that is, from the n-sphere to n-dimensional Euclidean space), then there exists x such that f(x) = f(-x). It has many applications, including in combinatorics. In this video I prepare the ground for explaini

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 1.8 --- Plünnecke's theorem
In this video I present a proof of Plünnecke's theorem due to George Petridis, which also uses some arguments of Imre Ruzsa. Plünnecke's theorem is a very useful tool in additive combinatorics, which implies that if A is a set of integers such that |A+A| is at most C|A|, then for any pair

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 9.5 --- Freiman's theorem for subsets of F_p^N.
Freiman's theorem for subsets of F_p^N states that if A is a subset of F_p^N and |A + A| is at most C|A|, then there is a subspace X of F_p^N of size at most C'|A| that contains A, where C' depends only on C. The result is actually due to Imre Ruzsa. Here I give not Ruzsa's original proof,

Rahim Moosa: Around Jouanolou-type theorems
Abstract: In the mid-90’s, generalising a theorem of Jouanolou, Hrushovski proved that if a D-variety over the constant field C has no non-constant D-rational functions to C, then it has only finitely many D-subvarieties of codimension one. This theorem has analogues in other geometric con

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 8.7 --- Bohr sets and Bogolyubov's lemma.
Bogolyubov's lemma says that if A is a dense subset of a finite Abelian group, then the set 2A - 2A has a large structured subset. The structure in question is that of a Bohr set, which I define here. If G is the group F_p^n for some small prime p, then it follows that 2A - 2A contains a s

Dimitri Zvonkine - On two ELSV formulas
The ELSV formula (discovered by Ekedahl, Lando, Shapiro and Vainshtein) is an equality between two numbers. The first one is a Hurwitz number that can be defined as the number of factorizations of a given permutation into transpositions. The second is the integral of a characteristic class
