The conference is organized by the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. The conference will be held in the building of this institute (13-15 Reáltanoda utca, Budapest, H-1053, Hungary). The talks will be scheduled to the afternoons. The participants will have rooms for informal discussions in the mornings as well.


Abstracts of talks
