Frankl Conjecture

Description:  This seminar will deal with a conjecture proposed in 1979 by Peter Frankl related to union-closed families of sets. Despite the fact that the conjecture regards finite union-closed families of sets, which appear to be very simple objects, very little is known about them. We try to present in detail the main tools people have been using to approach the problem and unveil a little bit of the mystery behind these families.
