Resumen
A classic and fundamental result, known as the Lovász Local Lemma, is a gem in the probabilistic method of combinatorics. At a high level, its core message can be described by the claim that weakly dependent events behave similarly to independent ones. A fascinating feature of this result is that even though it is a purely probabilistic statement, it provides a valuable and versatile tool for proving completely deterministic theorems. The Lovász Local Lemma has found many applications; despite being originally published in 1973, it still attracts active novel research. In this survey paper, we review various forms of the Lemma, as well as some related results and applications.
