Fyrirlesari: Peter Mester (Renyi-stofnunin) Tíma- og staðsetning: 11. apríl, kl. 11:40, í Odda O-106 Titill: Monotone couplings Ágrip: Probability theory has an ever widening scope of random objects to study. Shuffling of cards, models which capture phase transition, such as melting of ice, magnetization of iron, and the list could go on, including of course […]

3. nóvember, kl. 11:40 Stofa 152 í VR-2 Fyrirlesari: Adam Timar Titill: On Uniform Spanning Forests Ágrip: How can we generate a random labyrinth efficiently, and how can we describe its properties, such as the expected distance between two points in the labyrinth? This question can be made precise and answered through the study of

Fyrirlesari: Ali Khezeli (INRIA, Paris) Titill: On the Existence of Balancing Allocations and Factor Point Processes 20. október, kl. 11:40. Stofa N-130 í Öskju. Ágrip: A balancing allocation between measures and on is a function on that transports to . In the case of stationary random measures or point processes, which always have infinite total

13. október, 11:40 í N-130. Fyrirlesari: Brigitte Servatius (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Titill: Random regular graphs and their rigidity properties in the plane. Ágrip: We start with some elementary examples of random regular graphs and an algorithm to generate them. We explain how graph theoretic properties such as regularity, planarity, and transitivity influence planar rigidity and

October 6, 11:40 Room N-130 Speaker: Ejnar Bjarki Gunnarsson (University of Iceland) Title: The site frequency spectrum of a neutrally evolving tumor Abstract: The site frequency spectrum (SFS) is a popular summary statistic of genomic data, recording the frequencies of mutations within a given population. While the SFS of a constant-sized population undergoing neutral mutations

Næsta málstofa verður þriðjudaginn 18. apríl kl 13:20 í VHV-023 (ath. ný staðsetning). Fyrirlesari er Marton Posfai, Central European University, Vienna. Titill fyrirlestrarins er Physical networks. Ágrip: Physical networks — networks with nodes and links that are physical objects embedded in space — are shaped by constraints such as volume exclusion, the cost of building

Níunda málstofa haustsins verður föstudaginn 4. nóvember kl 10:30 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Þórður Jónsson, Háskóla Íslands. Titill hans er Quantum walk on a comb Abstract: We give a short introduction to continuous time quantum walk on graphs, discuss simple examples and compare with the usual random walk. Then we study quantum walk

Áttunda málstofa haustsins verður föstudaginn 28. október kl 10:30 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Hermann Þórisson, Háskóla Íslands. Titill hans er Forward and backward limits. Abstract: The main limit theorem of (time-homogeneous) Markov chains says that (under minimal conditions) a Markov chain tends to stationarity (equilibrium) as time tends to infinity. In 1938 Wolfgang Doeblin (1915-1940) presented a brilliant method

Fjórðja málstofa haustsins verður föstudaginn 7. október kl 10:30 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Sigurður Örn Stefánsson, Háskóla Íslands. Titill hans er Randomly decorated random trees Abstract: Many combinatorial objects may be decomposed in a natural way into an underlying tree whose vertices are identified with structures which we will call decorations. We refer to such objects as decorated trees.
