2D percolation revisited

Date: April 10, 2024

Time: 4:00PM - 5:00PM

Location: BLOC 117

Speaker: Stanislav Smirnov, University of Geneva

Description: We will discuss the state of our understanding of 2d percolation, and will present a recent proof of its conformal invariance at criticality. Besides being more elegant and conceptual, it also leads to new results, some of which we will discuss. Based on joint work with Mikhail Khristoforov.
