Abelian Networks

Combinatorics Seminar
March 23, 2023
10:20 am - 11:15 am
MW 154

Event:  Abelian Networks

Speaker:  Christopher Hoffman (University of Washington)

Abstract:  Abelian networks is a class of models from statistical physics introduced as models to help understand the complex behavior exhibited by forest fires and avalanches. In this talk we will introduce a few different Abelian networks including activated random walk and the stochastic sandpile model. We will discuss the techniques used to study them and discuss some recent results.
