Spring 2013 seminar on complex analysis and combinatorics

Last semester's seminar is continuing, now following Pemantle and Wilson's book. Thanks to Nicolas and Sam for organizing it again. This learning seminar can be taken as a reading course; please contact me if you are interested.

We will be in K9509, 3:30-5:30 Mondays. See below for the schedule.

• Spring 2011 integrable models in combinatorics and physics
• In Fall 2010, Samson Black and I organied a learning seminar on knots and quantum field theory.
• In late April and May 2010 I gave a series of 5 lectures on Renormalization Hopf Algebras, and the participants kindly took notes.

Older seminars on more motivic topics from when I was at Boston University. There are many broken links, but I consider these archived and so they will not be changed.
