 e: Stochastic dynamics on CW complexes\n \nAbstract: In this talk\, we 
 will explore stochastic motion of subcomplexes inside CW complexes. We ref
 er to this as a Markov CW-chain and it serves as a generalization of a ran
 dom walks on a graph\, and a discretization of stochastic flows on smooth 
 manifolds. We will define a notion of stochastic current\, connect it to c
 lassical electric current\, and show it satisfies quantization. Along the 
 way\, we will define the main combinatorial objects of study\, namely span
 ning trees and spanning co-trees in higher dimensions\, and relate these t
 o the dynamics.\n \nMore information on the website of the seminar: https
