| 401-4597-67L | Random Walks on Transitive Graphs  | 4 credits | 2V | V. Tassion | |
| Abstract | In this course, we will present modern topics at the interface between probability and geometric group theory. We will be mainly focused on the random walk, and discuss its behavior depending on the geometric properties of the underlying graph. | ||||
| Learning objective | |||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | - Probability Theory. - Basic properties of Markov Chains. - No prerequisite on group theory, all the background will be introduced in class. | ||||
| 401-4600-69L | Student Seminar in Probability Limited number of participants. Registration to the seminar will only be effective once confirmed by email from the organisers. This Student Seminar in Probability will be at an advanced level (dealing with current research topics), and the participants will be at a doctoral level or postdocs. Of course, non-participants are welcome to attend the various talks of the seminar. | 4 credits | 2S | A.‑S. Sznitman, J. Bertoin, V. Tassion | |
