An Introduction to Random Matrix Theory and the Genus Expansion

Abstract:

We'll give a quick introduction to the field of random matrix theory and give partial proof of the famed semicircle law for Wigner matrices. To do so, we will incorporate tools from combinatorics, probability, and topology to understand the genus expansion of a random matrix. No background in probability is required, though it may be helpful.
