Emergence on sandpile models (continous)

Time: 09:30 to  11:30 Ngày 02/06/2016

Venue/Location: C2-714

Speaker: Kevin Perrot

Content:

The talk will be twofold:

1. A presentation of the great two-dimensional sandpiles folklore. This
includes playing with a simulator, algebraic properties, and beautiful
images.

2. Our contribution to the field: we formally prove the emergence of
very regular shapes on one-dimensional sandpile configurations, without
requiring a perfect understanding of the dynamics (joint work with Eric
Rémila). This includes some linear algebra and combinatorics.
