Zassenhaus Lecture 1 - Persi Diaconis
Title: Basics of ShufflingSpeaker: Persi Diaconis, Stanford UniversityAbstract: How many times must a deck of cards be shuffled to mix it up? Translating this natural question into mathematics involves a mix of probability and algebra. The algebra leads all over the place (e.g., to Hodge decompositions for Hochschild homology). It also allows a useful answer to the original question: "About seven shuffles suffice." 2011 Zassenhaus Lectures Poster
