Some parts of the random matrix/nonequilibrium workshop will be concerned with stochastic models which are tagged as integrable. I will briefly recall the notion of classical integrability and quantum integrability, just to provide similarities and...

Our goal is to explain how certain basic representation theoretic ideas and constructions encapsulated in the form of Macdonald processes lead to nontrivial asymptotic results in various `integrable'; probabilistic problems. Examples include dimer...

In this lecture, I will talk about moment based SDP hierarchies (which are duals of SOS relaxations for polynomial optimization) in the context of graph partitioning. The focus will be on a certain way of rounding such hierarchies, whose quality is...

In this seminar, we will discuss the recent work on the eigenvalue and eigenvector distributions of random matrices. We will discuss a dynamical approach to these problems and related open questions. We will discuss both Wigner type matrix ensembles...

For a permutation \(p\), let \(S_n(p)\) be the number of permutations on \(n\) letters avoiding \(p\). Stanley and Wilf conjectured that, for each permutation \(p\), \(S_n(p)^{1/n}\) tends to a finite limit \(L(p)\). Marcus and Tardos proved the...
