DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker :  Bálint Virág (University of Toronto)\n\nT
 itle :  Introduction to Random Plane Geometry\n\nAbstract :  \n\nIf length
 s 1 and 2 are assigned randomly to each edge in Z^2\, what are the fluctua
 tions of distances between far away points?  \n\nThis problem is open\, ye
 t we know\, in great detail\, what to expect.  The directed landscape\, a 
 universal random plane geometry\, provides the answer to such questions.  
 \n\nWhat is the directed landscape? What does it teach us about longest in
 creasing subsequences in random permutations\, about random polymers\, abo
 ut models for spread of infection\, about tetris\, about random Schrodinge
 r operators\, and about cell biology?
