Abstract:
In this talk, based on joint work with Richard Kenyon and Grisha Mikhalkin, Andrei Okounkov discusses a binary operation on plane curves which
- generalizes classical duality for plane curves and
- arises naturally in probabilistic context,
namely as a facet boundary in certain random surface models.
