Dimers and webs

CMSA EVENTS: CMSA COLLOQUIUM

When: March 2, 2022
9:30 am - 10:30 am
Where: Virtually
Speaker: Richard Kenyon - Yale University
We consider SL_n-local systems on graphs on surfaces and show how the associated Kasteleyn matrix can be used to compute probabilities of various topological events involving the overlay of n independent dimer covers (or “n-webs”).
This is joint work with Dan Douglas and  Haolin Shi.
