Random Tilings Workshop: February 18 – 22, 2013

  Organized by Rick Kenyon, Jan de Gier, and Bernard Nienhuis   Random tilings in two dimensions provide an interesting class of discrete geometric models that exhibit critical behavior and hence are expected to be described by conformal eld theories and SLEs. The random tiling of lozenges, being free fermionic and describable in terms of … Read more
