OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
