Heights of polynomials and random matrix theory
- Date: 11/02/2006
Lecturer(s):
Christopher Sinclair (University of Colorado at Boulder)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
We will discuss a method for producing asymptotic estimates for the
number of integer polynomials of degree N with bounded (but large)
Mahler's measure. This method also produces a closed form for averages
of class functions over ensembles of asymmetric random matrices. In
this talk I will explain why this is important, and its potential for
resolving some open problems surrounding certain ensembles of random
matrices.
