The research group Random Matrices and Random Geometry (RMRG) at the Department of Mathematics at KTH works on problems in probability, analysis and mathematical physics, in particular statistical mechanics, and often problems at the boundary between these areas. This includes random matrices and limit theorems, random tilings and dimer models, random conformal geometry, scaling limits of critical lattice models, analytic and probabilistic aspects of conformal field theory, random growth, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang-universality, determinantal processes, Coulomb gases, and related problems in analysis.
