Seminar 6 April @ 5 pm AEST

 

 Localization in Strongly Reinforced Random Walks

Date: 6 April 2023, Thursday

Time: 10am AEST

Statistics and Stochastic colloquium (part of the Colloquium Series of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics) at La Trobe University jointly organized with the Probability Victoria Seminar.

Speaker:
Dr Andrea Collevecchio (Monash University, Australia)

Abstract: We discuss Strongly Reinforced Random Walks. In particular we focus on new results on the localization of nonlinear Vertex-Reinforced Jump Processes (VRJPs). This is a class of continuous time processes which prefer to visit vertices that accumulated larger local time in the past. VRJP is connected to the Supersymmetric Sigma-Model studied in Mathematical Physics. This talk is based on joint works with Minh Nguyen and Stas Volkov.
