Description
The computation of "gaussian integrals" has many applications in physics and statistics. This talk will be centered around particular "integrality conditions" and several equivalent methods of computation. We will exhibit a combinatorial interpretation of the values of certain classes of gaussian integrals, and utilize this reinterpretation to simplify some computations. Time-permitting, we will discuss extensions to cases involving multiple dimensions, super-commutativity, or "perturbed gaussians".
