ULTRA-COMBINATORICS. Applications of ultrafilters in combinatorial number theory, and related topics

From discrete to continuous, and back again

speaker: David Ross (University of Hawaii and University of Oslo)

abstract: Some results in measure theory are natural analogues of combinatorial properties on discrete sets; conversely, discrete results can be the asymptotic approximations of continuous properties. In this talk I survey some examples of how nonstandard analysis has been used, in both directions, to render this connection between discrete and continuous transparent.
