Title: A Riemann-Hilbert approach to the perturbation theory for orthogonal polynomials with applications

AbstractWe establish a new perturbation theory for orthogonal polynomials using a Riemann-Hilbert approach and consider applications in randomized numerical linear algebra and algorithmic statistics. This new approach shows that the orthogonal polynomials with respect to two measures can be effectively compared using the difference of their Stieltjes transforms on a suitably chosen contour. The results are applied to analyze several numerical algorithms, including the Lanczos tridiagonalization procedure, the Cholesky factorization and the conjugate gradient algorithm with random inputs. This talk is based on joint works with Thomas Trogdon.

Title: Branching random walks on hyperbolic groups

Abstract: Symmetric branching random walks on a non-amenable group $\Gamma$ exhibits a weak survival phase:  there is some critical value $\lambda_c > 1$ such that for mean offspring $\lambda \in (1, \, \lambda_c]$, the population survives forever, but eventually vacates every finite subset of the graph.  In this phase, particle trails must converge to certain boundary $\partial \Gamma$ of the graph and the random subset $\Lambda$ of the boundary consisting all the accumulation points is called the limit set of the branching random walk.  In this talk, we prove in the case that $\Gamma$ is a non-elementary hyperbolic group with $\partial \Gamma$ its hyperbolic boundary, the Hausdorff dimension $h(\lambda)$ of $\Lambda$ is at most one half of the dimension of the whole boundary, and has critical exponent $\frac{1}{2}$ at the critical point $\lambda_c$.
