Colored Vertex Models, Orthogonal Functions and Probability - Lecture 2

Explore the second lecture in a series focused on colored vertex models, orthogonal functions, and probability theory as part of a comprehensive two-week program on discrete integrable systems. Delve into advanced mathematical concepts at the intersection of theoretical physics and mathematics, examining exactly solvable systems and their conserved quantities. Learn about integrable difference equations, cluster algebras, and probabilistic models while engaging with topics spanning statistical physics, string theory, combinatorics, representation theory, geometry, and probability. Gain insights into soliton solutions, ultradiscretization, quantum groups, tropical geometry, stochastic processes, and the KPZ equation through detailed discussions and problem-solving sessions. Benefit from an inclusive academic environment that welcomes researchers at all levels, with particular emphasis on encouraging participation from underrepresented groups in mathematics and physics.
