If you have a question about this talk, please contact Richard Montgomery. Independently at each point in Z; randomly place a car with probability p and otherwise place an empty parking space. Each car independently executes a simple, symmetric random walk until it finds an empty parking space in which to park. How long does a car expect to drive before parking? Taking further a project of Damron, Gravner, Junge, Lyu, and Sivakoff, we show that for p < 1/2 the expected journey length of a car by time t is finite, and for p = 1/2 it grows like t^{3/4} up to polylogarithmic factors. Joint work with Alexander Roberts and Alex Scott. This talk is part of the Combinatorics and Probability seminar series.
