A Kruskal-Katona type theorem
The classical Kruskal-Katona theorem solves the shadow minimization problem, leading to a characterization of all possible face numbers of simplicial complexes. Inspired by this theorem we study a minimization problem, where the role of the shadow is replaced by the image of the action of the monoid of increasing functions. We provide a solution to this problem as well as an application to simplicial complexes. This talk, based on joint work with T. Römer, is entirely elementary.

Negative Dependence in Numerical Integration and Discrepancy Theory
Intuitively, a randomized point set in a d-dimensional unit cube is said to be negatively dependent if the points tend not to cluster. In my talk I will present a few notions of negative dependence, as well as their applications: it turns out that negatively dependent point sets yield good quadrature nodes, and in some sense (measured by the so-called discrepancy) are highly regular.
In the end I will discuss concrete constructions of negatively dependent point sets.
