UBC Probability Seminar: Ivan Corwin (Online)

Many important models in integrable probability (e.g. the KPZ equation, solvable directed polymers, ASEP, stochastic six vertex model) can be embedded into Gibbisan line ensembles. This hidden probabilistic structure provides new tools to control the behaviour and asymptotics of these systems. In my first talk I will discuss the Airy line ensemble and its origins and properties. In my lectures I will try toward from first principles as much as possible. The TA sessions and problems sets will serve to reinforce and fill in the details from the lectures.
