The resulting random geometry\, first pa ssage percloation\, is conjectured to have a scaling limit.\n \n Most random plane geometric models (including hidden geometries) should have the same scaling limit.\n \n I will explain the basics of the limiting geometry\, th e 'directed landscape'\, the central object in the class of models named a fter Kardar\, Parisi and Zhang.\n\n(Prix-CRM-Fields-Pims) Random plane geo metry -- a gentle introduction\n\nBalint Virag\, University of Toronto\n\n Web site : http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathematiques-quebec/ index.html#csmq\n DTSTART:20221007T193000Z DTEND:20221007T203000Z SUMMARY:Balint Virag (University of Toronto) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/balint-virag-university-t oronto-342430 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
