All talks have 60 min + 30 min time for discussions.

The following outlines of the talks are merely '''suggestions'''. People should feel free to change the content of their talk as they like and concentrate rather on things they found interesting during the preparation. This should not be a problem as the talks are relatively independent. There are some restrictions, however:
 +
 +
* The topics mentioned in the description of talks 2-5 (though largely independent from each other) are needed for talks 6, 7 and 9. In case of doubt ask me or the speakers of these talks whether they need something.
 +
* Talk 8 (The dilogarithm) is needed for the remaining talks on the dilog.
