Combinatorics Reading Seminar: Limit shapes for the 6 vertex model

Seminar | October 30 | 11:10 a.m.-12:10 p.m. | 748 Evans Hall

Speaker:  Meredith Shea, UC Berkeley

Sponsor:  Department of Mathematics

We will discuss the behavior of the six vertex model in the thermodynamic limit, following the work done by A. Shridhar and N. Reshetikhin (arXiv: 1510.01053, 1609.01756). Our first goal will be to state a variational problem that describes the limiting height function, which we will then compute explicitly for the case of a stochastic six vertex model on the cylinder.
