Random trees and moduli of curves
Colloquium| Speaker: | Andrei Okounkov, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |
| Start time: | Mon, Mar 12 2001, 4:10PM |
I will explain how some basic theory of random trees can be useful for some rather advanced algebro-geomertic computations, namely, to prove Kontsevich's formula for intersection numbers on the moduli spaces of curves.
