I apologize for messing this up. Seminar is TOMORROW, Friday Feb 27 at 3:00PM in 109A. Speaker is Harry Crane from Rutgers. Hope to see you, Iddo. Title: Markov processes on set partitions Friday, February 28, 2014 3:00 pm MSB 109A We discuss a general class of partition-valued Markov processes whose behavior we can describe precisely. Specifically, we give a Levy-Ito representation for exchangeable Feller processes on the space of infinite k-colorings. In discrete- time, we can represent the evolution of these processes by a product of independent, identically distributed stochastic matrices. We use this representation to show the cut-off phenomenon for some Markov chains in this class.
