Title: Average behavior of the p-torsion of Jacobian groups in families of graphs
Abstract: The Jacobian group of a graph can be thought as a discrete analogue of the Jacobian of a Riemann Surface. We know very little about the structure of this group. In this talk, I will present some results concerning the distribution of Jacobian groups with nontrivial p-torsion in certain families of graphs.
