SUMMARY: Some contributions of information theory to pure mathematics - Dr
  Thomas Karam\, University of Oxford

CONTACT:Dr Amir R. Asadi
DESCRIPTION:We will illustrate the versatility of Shannon entropy as a too
 l providing insight into central basic questions in several fields of pure
  mathematics\, through four instances (among many more choices): the centr
 al limit theorem (probability)\, the structure of union-closed families (c
 ombinatorics)\, the structure of sets of integers with small sumset (numbe
 r theory)\, and bounds on volumes of sets depending on those of their proj
 ections (geometry).
