Original Kurzfassung:
The dispersion of a point set, which is the volume of the largest axis-parallel box in the unit cube that does not intersect the point set, is an alternative to the discrepancy as a measure for certain (uniform) distribution properties. The computation of the dispersion, or even the best possible dispersion, in dimension two has a long history in computational geometry and computational complexity theory. Given the prominence of the problem, it is quite surprising
that, until recently, very little was known about the size of the largest empty box in higher dimensions. In this talk we will give a survey about recent developments.
