Abstract: We will give a combinatorial proof of a product formula for the
number of spanning trees of the n-dimensional hypercube. The proof we will
present is a simplified version of the proof given by Bernardi.

TITLE:* Schur Multiplier and Bogomolov Multiplier.
*Abstract*: We will prove that the second stable homotopy group of the
Eilenberg Maclane space is completely determined by the Schur multiplier.
Then we will discuss about the Schur multipliers of Noetherian groups. Time
permitting, we will also discuss Noether's Rationality problem. All of the
above will be shown as an application of a group theoretical construction.
