DESCRIPTION:Title: Activated Random Walk: the line between fast and slow sl
 eep.\n\nAbstract: Activated random walk is a process with many chips movin
 g on a graph\, which is intended to be a better-behaved version of the abe
 lian sandpile. Chips that are awake do a simple random walk with rate 1 in
  continuous time. If a chip is by itself on a vertex\, it falls asleep wit
 h some rate\, the parameter lambda. But\, if a second chip enters that ver
 tex later\, both chips wake back up and continue walking. On a finite grap
 h\, eventually all chips will fall asleep\, but that may take a very long 
 time. There is a phase transition from fast to slow sleep. I'll talk about
  the phase transition in the extreme case where a cycle has one chip per v
 ertex\, and a recent result by Forien and Gaudillière proving that sleep i
 s slow on the torus for any positive density of particles if lambda is sma
 ll enough.\n\n \n
