The Aztec Diamond: an analytic journey through random tilings (Maurice Duits)
Maurice Duits, professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and lauerate of the FSMP Chair of Excellence in 2025, is giving, in the frame of his chair, a 20-hour course on the topic of The Aztec Diamond: an analytic journey through random tilings.
This course will take place at the IHP from January 15 to March 10, 2026.
The first two sessions will take place on Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. in amphitheatre Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat (Perrin building), then the next sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in room Pierre Grisvard (3rd floor of the Borel building).
