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
In this talk, based on a recent joint work with Nick Cook, I will discuss recent developments in the emerging theory of nonlinear large deviations focusing on sharp upper tails for counts of a fixed subgraph in a large sparse Erdos–Renyi graph. In particular, I will explain our approach via quantitative versions of the regularity and counting lemmas suitable for the study of sparse random graphs in the large deviations regime.
