A tale of two balloons
Omer Angel (UBC)
Abstract: We study the following process, motivated by coalescing random walks: From each point of a Poisson point process start growing a balloon at rate 1. When two balloons touch, they pop and disappear. We study this on various spaces and various starting states. En route we find a new(ish) 0-1 law, and generalize bounds on independent sets that are factors of IID. Joint work with Gourab Ray and Yinon Spinka.
