OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Graph limit theory studies the convergence of sequences of graphs as the number of vertices grows, providing an effective framework for representing large networks. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to graph limits and report on recent extensions to weighted graphs and multiplex networks (probability graphons and P-variables). As an application of this theory I will present a large deviation principle (LDP) for random weighted graphs that generalizes the LDP for Erdős-Rényi random graphs by Chatterjee and Varadhan (2011), based on joint work with Pierfrancesco Dionigi.
