NT-seminar by Farbod Shokrieh

Farbod Shokrieh (Cornell Univ.) will give a number theory seminar in aud 5 on wednesday, december 21 at 14:00.

Title: Metric graphs, potential theory, and applications.

More classically, metric graphs can be viewed as electrical networks.

I will discuss the interplay between these two points of view, and discuss some applications
