Lecture 8: Szemerédi’s Graph Regularity Lemma III: Further Applications

Description: After proving Roth’s theorem last lecture, Professor Zhao explains Behrend’s construction of large sets of integers without 3-term arithmetic progressions, as well as another application of the triangle removal lemma to subsets of a 2-dimensional lattice without corners.

The second half of the lecture discusses further applications of the regularity method within graph theory: graph embedding, counting, and removal lemmas, as well as a proof of the Erdős–Stone–Simonovits theorem on H-free graphs.
