October 25: there is no reading seminar this week

November 1: simultaneously observable subsets (end of 4.5), 4.6-4.8

November 8: High powers of complex polynomial processes (4.8), uniform spanning trees (6.1)

November 15: Uniform spanning trees cont. (6.1)

November 22: Ginibre ensemble, circular ensemble (.2, 6.4)
