Title: Random polymers and q-deformed RSK algorithms

Abstract: Some "integrable" or "exactly solvable" probabilistic models are amenable to analysis, because the underlying algebraic structure allows to express certain correlations and moments via exact formulas. We will see how this "integrability" manifests itself in particular models of random polymers and interacting particle systems and how $q$-deformed Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithms arise as unifying constructions. This is a joint work with Leonid Petrov, University of Virginia.
