PDE/Analysis Seminar

Speaker: Marianna Russkikh (University of Notre Dame) Title: Dimer Model, Origami map and Maximal Surfaces in Minkowski Space R^{2,1} Abstract: Random tilings reveal striking connections between probability and geometry. This talk explores these connections through geometric objects called t-embeddings, which, together with their origami map, reveal the conformal structure underlying the dimer model and provide a new way to study the large-scale behavior of random tilings.
