Dear all,

Just a reminder today that this afternoon (November 6) there will be an Analysis and Probability seminar talk by Kostantinos Tsougkas from Uppsala University. Kostos will take on "Asymptotic complexity of fractal graphs." Hope to see you this afternoon!

Seminar Time & Location: 3:15pm in MSB 109A

Title: Asymptotic complexity of fractal graphs

Abstract: The number of spanning trees of a graph can be evaluated by Kirchhoff's well known matrix tree theorem by having knowledge of the spectrum of the graph Laplacian. In fully symmetric self similar fractal graphs, such knowledge of the spectrum is obtained by the process of spectral decimation. We will apply this information to a sequence of fractal graphs approximating a fully symmetric finitely ramified fractal and establish existence and bounds of their asymptotic complexity constant.
