OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Linear extensions of a poset $(X, \prec)$ of size $n$ are increasing bijections from $X$ to $\{1,…,n\}$. These linear extension generalize Young tableaux and various multi-dimensional random walks models. We will survey what is known about the asymptotic and probabilistic behavior of linear extensions and present our recent work on the subject. The talk is aimed at a general audience.
