一、题目：

A combinatorial approach to some distribution-free probabilistic inequalities

二、主讲人：

李建阁

三、摘要：

This talk is focused on the comparison between the probabilities that the sum and difference of two independent, identically distributed random elements take values in very general sets. We prove these distribution-free probabilistic inequalities by showing that underlying them are inequalities of extremal combinatorial nature, related among other things to classical sphere packing/covering problems.

四、主讲人简介：

Jiange Li is faculty member in the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics of the Harbin Institute of Technology. Prof. Li's research interests lie at the interface between probability and analysis, including information-theoretic inequalities, the concentration of measure phenomenon, geometric functional inequalities, and the analysis of Boolean functions.
