Abstract: We will first give a broad overview of some extremal combinatorics problems, and some probabilistic and algebraic methods used to attack them. We will also give a broad overview of some probabilistic combinatorics problems, which are pure probability problems...

Abstract: I will motivate QFT in curved spacetime by deriving conservation of energy. Then we'll look at Bogoliubov transformations. We'll then talk about Minkowski space, uniformly accelerating observers, and Rindler space. These are the prerequisites for deriving the Unruh Effect,...
