Hi:
There is a math colloquium today at 3:30 PM in MSCS 101:
Speaker: Professor Hoi H. Nguyen of Ohio State University
Title: On roots of random polynomials
See abstract below.
Hope to see you there,
David Wright
Abstract:
The study of roots of random polynomials is an active area of research
that has been ongoing since the early 1900s. In this talk, we will survey
some recent developments, focusing on robust frameworks to establish
various universality properties. These include the local correlation of
roots, the variance of the number of real roots, concentration phenomenon,
and CLT fluctuation of the number of real roots. The talk is partly based
on joint works with Y. Do, D. Lubinsky, O. Nguyen, I. Pritsker, and V. Vu.
