Feynman Diagrams, Pairing Schemes, and Gaussian Integrals
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Patrick Dragon, UC Davis |

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".
