Thursday 20th September, 3:00 in Fine Hall 224.

Title: The sharp threshold criterion and the container method; chisel and
hammer.

I will present a sharp threshold result regarding Ramsey properties of
random graphs, and focus on the use of the container method of
Balogh-Morris-Samotij / Saxton-Thomason as a crucial tool that enables to
push through proofs based on my sharp threshold criterion (one of many uses
of this excellent hammer, that makes union bounds work where they
previously were insufficient).
   Joint work with Mathias Schacht and Wojtek Samotij.
