Title：

Poisson generic points - a variant of normality

Abstract:

The notion of normal numbers goes back to the first proof of the strong law of large numbers by Borel more than a hundred years ago. He showed that Lebesgue a.e. number in [0,1] is normal. Some years ago Yuval Peres and I showed that a.e. number in [0,1] satisfies a much stronger condition called Poisson genericity which point-wise implies normality. Recently, together with V. Becker and her collaborators, we have generalized this result in several directions. I will explain these ideas without assuming prior knowledge.
