My talk will focus on the probabilistic analysis of one of the first and foundational combinatorial optimization problems: the minimum spanning tree problem. The structure o f a random minimum spanning tree (MST) of a graph G turns out to be intima tely linked to the behaviour of critical and near-critical percolation on G. I will describe this connection\, and present some results on the struc ture\, scaling limits\, and volume growth of random MSTs. It turns out tha t\, on high-dimensional graphs\, random minimum spanning trees are expecte d to be three-dimensional when viewed intrinsically\, and six-dimensional when viewed as embedded objects.\n Based on joint works with Nicolas Brouti n\, Christina Goldschmidt\, Simon Griffiths\, Ross Kang\, Gregory Miermont \, Bruce Reed\, Sanchayan Sen. \n DTSTART:20170310T210000Z DTEND:20170310T220000Z LOCATION:Room 6254\, CA\, Pavillon André-Aisenstadt\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, 2920\, Chemin de la tour\, 5th floor SUMMARY:Louigi Addario-Berry\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ URL:/channels/event/louigi-addario-berry-universite-mc gill-266725 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
