Math Colloquium: Random nilpotent groups
February 3, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
FreeIn group theory, any group can be defined by specifying generators and relations. But for infinite groups, when trying to define a model for a generic/random group, there are many options for how to vary these generators and relations. We will give an overview of one of the most popular models: Gromov’s density model and then present one of our own for torsion free nilpotent groups that is based on upper triangular matrices.
Presented by Tullia Dymarz, Associate Professor of Mathematics, University of Wisconsin – Madison. Refreshments to follow.
