Title: Random groups

Time and place: 16:00 Friday 13/04/2018 in Weatherburn LT

Abstract: What does a random group look like? To answer this question, we first need to specify which class of groups we are talking about, and to then put a probability distribution on them. I’ll talk about the answer for two different distributions on the class of all finitely-presented groups, presenting some recent joint work with Calum Ashcroft. I’ll then go on to discuss what can be said in the finite case, concentrating on subgroups of the symmetric group, and covering some work in progress with Gareth Tracey.

Past and future seminars may be found at http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~glasby/GroupsAndCombinatoricsSeminar/S18.html

There will be cake in the Mathematics and Statistics tea room at 15:40. The seminar starts at 16:00, and after 17:05 we go to the UniClub or Student Tavern for a drink.

All welcome.
