Abstract:

In probability theory, there are simple random recursive models originating from statistical physics and giving unsolved mathematical problems. I am going to present two examples of such models, and make elementary discussions on one of them, the random series-parallel graph. Joint work with Xinxing Chen, Bernard Derrida and Thomas Duquesne.
