Topic: 

Random Dessins d'Enfants

Description: 

Circle packings provide a conformally natural way to draw triangulations of the sphere. Similarly and more generally, dessins d'enfants provide natural drawings of plane graphs. I will explain how this works, with an emphasis on trees. Then I will discuss a few results and a few questions in the uniformly random case.
