SUMMARY:Seminar: Melanie Wood (Harvard University): "Determining distributions of groups from their moments"
DESCRIPTION:<strong><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="b45d37d8-16fc-4348-8235-cfeae1689798" alt="Melanie Wood" data-view-mode="hwp_small"></drupal-media><br>Title: </strong>Determining distributions of groups from their moments<br><strong>Speaker:</strong> Melanie Wood (Harvard University)<br><strong>Abstract: </strong>Just as moments of a distribution of real numbers are a powerful tool that (if they are not too large) determine the distribution uniquely, we can consider certain averages as moments of a distribution of groups (or more general algebraic structures).  We discuss how these moments determine a distribution of groups uniquely, and how that can be applied to find distributions of fundamental groups of random 3-manifolds, fundamental groups of curves over finite fields, and to give conjectures for distributions of important groups arising in number theory such as class groups.
