Back in October, for the first time, we filmed an actual student lecture, Vicky Neale's lecture on 'Complex Numbers.' We wanted to show what studying at Oxford is really like, how it is not so different to school while at the same time taking things to a more rigorous level. Since we made the film available, over 375,000 people have watched some of it.
This talk will cover the connections of persistence with the topology of random structures. This includes an overview of various results from stochastic topology as well as the role persistence ideas play in the analysis. This will include results on the maximally persistent classes and minimum spanning acycles/generalised trees.
