Stone Duality, Smirnov's Theorem, and Compact Hausdorff Spaces
Department of Mathematics Seminar Meetings

The meeting of the NEW YORK SEMINAR ON GENERAL TOPOLOGY AND TOPOLOGICAL ALGEBRA will be held at Baruch College (Lexington Ave. & 24th Street).
Abstract: We will discuss how Stone duality between Boolean algebras and Stone spaces and Smirnov's characterization of compactifications of a completely regular space by means of proximities give rise to a rather elegant duality for the category of compact Hausdorff spaces. This results in a rather simple description of the Gleason cover of a compact Hausdorff space (which is algebraic in nature). Some other features of the de Vries duality will also be discussed.

Strong Law of Large Numbers on Graphs and Groups With
Applications
Department of Mathematics
1:45-2:15 pm, NVC 6-215
In this talk, we introduce the notion of the mean-set (expectation) of a graph- or group-valued random element. With this notion at hand, a novel generalization of the strong law of large numbers on graphs and groups is presented (formulation, intuition, and the key ideas of the proof are given). Some other relevant results about configurations of mean sets in trees, which help to illuminate other areas of mathematics in unexpected way, are indicated. Results of actual experiments with free groups supporting the law are shown. Further applications and developments are discussed.
The presenter is on campus for interviews in addition to the presentation.
