This seminar centered loosely around algebraic dynamics, complex dynamics, and related topics. We meet weekly for a 90-minute talk, with the first 30 minutes aiming towards non-experts and graduate students. After the talk we will have 30 minutes of informal discussion.More information:https://ywfan-math.github.io/ADCD.htmlAbstract The problem of counting saddle connections and closed loops on ...
AbstractThe asymptotic variance is an important criterion to evaluate the performance of Markov processes, especially for the central limit theorems. In this talk, we give a variational formula for the asymptotic variance of (nonreversible) Markov processes. The variational formula provides many applications, extending the classical Peskun’s comparison theorem to non-reversible Markov processe...
