3-webs and the boundary measurement matrix

Distinguished Lecture Series

Speaker: Richard Kenyon, Yale University
Location: 1147 MSB
Start time: Thu, May 11 2023, 3:10PM

We’ll study 3-multiwebs (triple dimer covers) in planar graphs with boundary. Greg Kuperberg famously defined graphical presentations of SL3-invariants, called “spiders,” in 1996, and a 3-multiweb is an example of such an object.



This is the second of three Thurston Lectures by Richard Kenyon.
