Mathematical Colloquium Tuesday the 18th of May

[Tamara Grava]

Dear all, 

a gentle reminder of the mathematical Colloquium

Tuesday the 18th of May at 16.00


Speaker: Neil O'Connel, University College, Dublin

Title:From longest increasing subsequences to Whittaker functions and random polymers

Abstract: The Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence is a combinatorial bijection which plays an important role in the theory of Young tableaux and provides a natural framework for the study of longest increasing subsequences in random permutations and related percolation problems. In this talk I will give some background on this and then explain how a birational version of the RSK mapping provides a similar framework for the study of Whittaker functions and random polymers.  Based on joint works with Ivan Corwin, Timo Seppalainen and Nikos Zygouras.
