Abstract:
|
It was predicted by physicists that scaling limits of systems "at criticality" in two dimensions exhibit some kind of conformal invariance. There has been a great surge of activity in the last twelve years making much of this precise. The main new tool is the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) but there are other interesting objects as well. This talk will introduce SLE and discuss what can be proved using this.
