PIMS Postdoctorial Colloquium: Ori Gurel-Gurevich
- Date: 10/31/2011
- Time: 13:30
Lecturer(s):
Ori Gurel-Gurevich
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Random Walks and Electric Networks
Description:
Abstract:
We will explore the relation between random walks on
graphs and the properties of the graph as an electric network. We will
use these to prove some classic theorems of Polya (about recurrence and
transience of lattices), and some less classic theorems of mine (about
recurrence of the trace of a simple random walk).
No prior knowledge beyond undergraduate math will be assumed.
