Dear colleagues,

we are happy to announce the following online talk:

Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze)

Title: Phase transitions in random graphs and coagulation processes.

Abstract: Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos–Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a typeand edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices thatthey are connecting. In the sparse regime, these graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos–Renyi model. We will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelationphase transition in coagulation processes and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components.
This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K\"onig (WIAS and TUBerlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini(WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

Date and time: Monday March 28, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone).
