“In this talk, we will introduce the model of biased random walks in random conductance on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and describe the different parameters of the model. We will then focus on the notion of speed of a random walk, and explore how several parameters of the model—such as percolation vs uniformly elliptic conductances, static vs dynamic environments, and constant speed vs variable speed—affect the properties of the speed. The goal of this talk is not to prove these different behaviours, but to gain some intuition on how these parameters change the properties of the speed.”
TopMath Talks
As part of the TopMath talks, TopMath students and doctoral students present parts of their research. They provide an understandable insight into their current area of interest, enabling students and staff from different research fields to broaden their mathematical background knowledge. The talks are open to the public and last about an hour, followed by discussion. You are cordially invited!
