Hjalmar Rosengren: Three-coloured chessboards
Time: Wed 2015-05-13 10.30 - 11.30
Location: Room 306, House 6, Kräftriket, Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University
Participating: Hjalmar Rosengren, Math Dept at Chalmers and Gothenburg Univ
Seminar, Analys: Especially Mathematical Physics
Abstract: I will discuss some mathematics and physics related to what I call three-coloured chessboards. These seemingly simple combinatorial objects turn out to have intriguing relations to topics such as elliptic functions and modular forms, solvable models of statistical mechanics, affine Lie algebras and Painlevé equations. The lecture should be accessible to a wide audience.
