> Individuals and viewing party groups from around the world can "attend"
> these online talks and interact with the speaker and other attendees
> remotely via Zoom. It is very easy--Just click on the link below to join.
> If you have not used Zoom before, there may be a very brief download, but
> then you will be in the event. Here are quick instructions for joining a

> The talk will start at the stated time, but the Zoom invitation will open
> 30 minutes earlier so that participants may call in early if they wish to
> get a sense of how the platform works (how to mute/unmute, share screens,
> shared whiteboard, raise hand, chat, etc.).

> *Title:* Rank-Metric Codes for Random Network Coding
>
> *Abstract: *In multicast networks, information is passed through a
> network of nodes to several receivers. The goal is to transmit the
> information to all receivers with the least amount of uses of the network.
> We will see that suitable encoding of the information at the nodes (inner
> coding) can decrease the number of applications of the network. In
> addition, encoding the information before transmission (outer coding) can
> safeguard the information against errors during transmission. It turns out
> that rank-metric codes are the appropriate tool for outer coding. After a
> gentle introduction into the theory of rank-metric codes I will present
> some recent results, such as constructions of optimal Ferrers-diagram codes
> and their proportion among all Ferrers-diagram codes of the same dimension
