László Lovász: Discrete analytic functions, local observation and statistical physics 

Speaker: László Lovász

Title: Discrete analytic functions, local observation and statistical physics 

Abstract: Most of the talk will be either not new, or not my own work: an introduction to the theory of discrete analytic functions and two applications, local observations leading to global properties and Smirnov's work on the conformal invariance of the 2 dimensional Ising model.
