Seminars for the week of March 29, 2010
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:35, in VinH 16Professor Erwin Bolthausen
of University of Zurich
will speak on
"The ultrametricity problem in spin glass theory" Ultrametricity is a very puzzling open problem in spin glass theory. We describe the problem,
discuss why it is thought to be important, and present attempts to shed some light on it.
