Pathwise Information Theory in Two Dimensions
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Jordan Snyder, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |

We consider an approach to extending Information Theory to spatially extended systems based on computing information quantities along collections of self-avoiding walks on the underlying lattice. Several test cases are analyzed and techniques are proposed for extracting geometric information from pathwise information quantities. Finally, we consider some data sets of physical interest (2D Ising model) and discuss possible generalizations.
