Topology of Random Simplicial Complexes - Matthew Kahle

Topology of Random Simplicial Complexes - Matthew Kahle Institute for Advanced Study October 5, 2010 In this talk I will overview two very different kinds of random simplicial complex, both of which could be considered higher-dimensional generalizations of the Erdos-Renyi random graph, and discuss what is known and not known about the expected topology of each. Some of this is joint work with Eric Babson and Chris Hoffman. For more videos, visit http://video.ias.edu
