Abstract:
|
This will be a survey of what is known about a number of models that arise in statistical physics with an emphasis on: simple random walk (including intersection properties), self-avoiding random walk, and loop-erased random walk. I will discuss how the behavior depends on the dimension of space, summarize what is known rigorously, and list some of the difficult open problems. This talk is intended for a general(statistically literate) audience.
