Master Course on Random Geometry
随机几何大师讲习班
Lecturer: Scott Sheffield (MIT)
Main lecture course by Scott Sheffield, with 5--6 extra research talks. Confirmed research talk speakers include Amol Aggarwal (Columbia), Alex Dunlap (Courant), Yichao Huang (BIT), Rongfeng Sun (NUS), Xuan Wu (Chicago) and Pu Yu (MIT).
Scott Sheffield will give three lectures on the following three topics:
1. The first lecture called "Random surfaces" is based on this survey paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.02470
2. The second lecture called "Dimers in 3D" is based on this preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.08468
3. The third lecture called "Advances in Yang-Mills Theory" is based on this arXiv preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.02306 and on the slides here: http://newton.kias.re.kr/~namgyu/index.html/Jeju23/slides/Sheffield.pdf
It will be very helpful for the participants to look over these material in advance, at least to read through the introductions and to get a sense of vocabulary and notations.
