Dependent Random Choice

Many problems in Ramsey Theory and Extremal Graph Theory deal with embedding a small or sparse graph in a dense graph. In this talk we present a simple and yet surprisingly powerful probabilistic technique, called "Dependent Random Choice", which has recently had several striking applications. As a simple application we will discuss a tight upper bound on the Turán number of bipartite graph and sketch further applications if time permits.
