Title: The method of moments
Speaker: Cesar Cuenca
Abstract: We discuss some interactions between probability and the combinatorics of set partition that arise in the proofs of limit theorems through the method of moments. We focus on random matrix models, especially on the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. If time permits, we give an overview of the analogous theory for random partitions.
