Simple random walk is well understood. However, if we condition a
random walk not to intersect itself, so that it is a self-avoiding walk,
then it is much more difficult to analyze and many of the important
mathematical problems remain unsolved.
This lecture will give an overview of some of what is known about the
self-avoiding walk, including some old and some more recent results,
using methods that touch on combinatorics, probability, and statistical
mechanics.
Une réception suivra la conférence au Salon Maurice-L'abbé, Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (Salle 6245).
There will be a reception after the lecture in Salon Maurice-L'abbé, Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (Room 6245).
