On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
