Dear Colleagues,
we invite you to the next SFB-meeting on Friday, Oct 25 at the TU Wien.
We are looking forward to your participation.
With best regards,

"Limiting probabilities of first order properties of sparse random graphs"
Marc Noy (UPC Barcelona
Abstract:
Given a property A of graphs expressible in the language of first order (FO)
logic, we are interested in the limiting probability that a random graph
satisfies A. We consider this question in the G(n,p) model when p=c/n and c > 0
is a constant. It is well-known that there is a phase transition in the
structure of G(n,c/n) at c = 1. Lynch showed that FO logic cannot capture this
transition. Instead of individual properties we study the closure L(c) of the
set of all limiting probabilities of FO properties and find the following
dichotomy. There is a critical value c0 ~ 0.93 such that: if c > c0 then L(c)
is the whole interval [0,1], while if c < c0 there is at least one gap, that
is, one subinterval not covered by L(c).
This is is joint work with Alberto Larrauri and Tobias Müller.

"Walks in the three-quarter plane"
Amélie Trotignon (JKU)
Abstract:
Enumeration of lattice walks in cones has many applications in combinatorics
and probability theory. These objects are amenable to treatment by many
techniques: combinatorics, complex analysis, probability theory, computer
algebra and Galois theory of difference equations. While walks restricted to
the first quadrant have been well studied, the case of non-convex cones has
been approached recently. In this talk, we extend the analytic method of the
study of walks in the quarter plane to the three-quarter plane applying the
strategy of splitting the domain into two symmetric convex cones. This method
is composed of three main steps: write a system of functional equations, which
may be simplified into one simple equation under symmetry conditions; transform
the functional equation into a boundary value problem; and solve this problem
using conformal mapping. The result is a contour integral expression for the
generating function. The advantage of this method is the uniform treatment of
models corresponding to different step sets.
