DESCRIPTION:Title:Asymptotics of the Resistance of the Critical Series-Para
 llel Graph via Parabolic PDE Theory\n\nAbstract: I will discuss recent wor
 k on the connection between a certain class of recursive distributional eq
 uations (RDE's)\, proposed independently by Gurel-Gurevich and Derrida\, a
 nd parabolic PDE's.  The class of RDE's in question includes those satisfi
 ed by the graph distance and the resistance on the series-parallel graph\,
  a random hierarchical lattice introduced by Hambly and Jordan (2004).  Th
 e RDE's are expected to undergo a phase transition.  In the critical setti
 ng\, I will discuss limit theorems that follow from a PDE-based analysis o
 f CDF's.  In the sub/supercritical setting\, there will be a tantalizing c
 onnection to the theory of reaction-diffusion equations\, particularly the
  Fisher-KPP equation.\n
