Talk Abstract:

If a group action is given, then we can naturally define a graph called a Schreier graph. We define self-similar groups and consider the spectra of Schreier graphs associated with them. This talk is based on the material that I studied recently for a conference talk, and is accessible to every math grad student.

About the Speaker:

Yuki is a 5th year Ph.D. student. He received a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Tokyo, and now he is working on Dynamical Systems and Mathematical Physics under the guidance of Professor A. Gorodetski. In his free time, Yuki enjoys juggling, swimming, and practicing yoga. Also, he recently started to learn salsa dancing!

Refreshments:

Pizza will be served after the talk.
