Title: The one-sided cycle shuffles in the symmetric group algebra
Speaker: Darij Grinberg Affiliation: Drexel University Zoom: Contact Logan Crew or Olya MandelshtamAbstract:
Elements in the group algebra of a symmetric group S_n are known to have an interpretation in terms of card shuffling. I will discuss a new family of such elements, recently constructed by Nadia Lafrenière: Given a positive integer n, we define n elements t_1, t_2, ..., t_n in
