On the meteor process

Speaker: Krzysztof Burdzy

Abstract: The meteor process is a model of mass redistribution on a graph. I will present results on existence of the process and existence, uniqueness and properties of the stationary distribution. I will also discuss special questions arising in the case when the graph is a cycle or the set of integers.
