PNW Integrable Probability Conference

We introduce the Pacific Northwest Integrable Probability conference on the 100th anniversary of Linus Pauling's graduation from Oregon State University.

The theme of the conference is exactly solvable models with relations to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. A typical exactly solvable model is the six-vertex model, originally introduced by Linus Pauling as a toy model to describe statistical mechanics properties of a thin sheet of ice.

The talks will focus on recent progress and open problems. There will be two talks a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with the rest of the time is intended for informal discussion among the participants. A series of recorded background talks will be posted on this website a few days before the start of the conference so that the participants are well prepared to be fully engaged.

This will be a hybrid event with in-person and virtual participation. Please register below even if you only plan to participate virtually. Links to the talk will only be sent to registered participants.

Organizer: Axel Saenz Rodriguez, Oregon State University, saenzroa@oregonstate.edu
