The Mathematical Physics at Leeds (MaPLe) seminar series is aimed at bringing together researchers at any level from across the University of Leeds — from both mathematics and physics departments alike — to give talks on themes in mathematical physics, broadly construed. On occasion, we also host seminars by researchers from outside the University of Leeds.
The current organisers are Nora Gavrea (lxgz1729[at]leeds.ac.uk) and Thanadon Kongkoom (chcx0249[at]leeds.ac.uk). If you would like to give a seminar or want to be added to the chat and the mailing list, please get in touch.
The seminar takes place every other Tuesday at 10:00 AM in the MALL.
Talks from the 2024 series can be found at: https://anupanand.space/maple/.
We take a look at several random geometric graphs (RGG) with increasing levels of complexity, starting from the classical Gilbert disc model with fixed radius and up to the weight-dependent random connection model. At each step, we discuss the heuristics of what the newly added complexity changes in the behaviour of the models and how it affects the criticality of the largest connected component and the typical distance between two points of this component.
