Adding numbers and shuffling cards

When numbers are added in the usual way carries occur. It turns out that the carries
form a Markov Chain with an "amazing" transition matrix. This matrix is related to
lots of things (group cohomology, algebraic geometry, fractals), in particular, it has a
sharp relation to the usual way that we shue cards. This is based on joint work with
Jason Fulman.
