Title: Improved Bounds for Szemeredi's Theorem 

Abstract: We discuss recent improved bounds for Szemerédi’s Theorem. The talk will seek to provide a gentle introduction to what is meant by higher order Fourier analysis, motivate the statement of the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm, and discuss the high level strategy underlying the proof.
Based on joint work w. James Leng and Ashwin Sah
