[Turkmath:2969] Amin Saberi at Boğaziçi at 18:00 on Monday, April 30

[Mohan Ravichandran]

Dear All,

    Amin Saberi (Stanford) will give a talk at 18:00 on Monday, April 30 at
TB 130, Bogazici university (please note the unusual time).

Title: Random Spanning Trees, Electrical Networks, and Strongly Rayleigh
Measures

Abstract: While probability theory, like much of mathematics has its roots
in physics, the level of abstraction often makes the problems less
accessible except to a handful of experts.
This lecture starts with establishing relations between elementary electric
network theory, random walks, and random spanning trees and build on that
to present exciting concepts in complex geometry especially the geometry of
roots of polynomials and their applications in algorithm design.
  The talk will be accesible to undergraduates as well.

Best,
Mohan
