Mixing Time for Glauber Dynamics on Lozenge Tilings
Episode details
Episode description
Lozenge tilings are a well-studied effective model for interface between phases in statistical physics model. In particular they correspond exactly to the interfaces of the Ising model on Z 3 at zero temperature. I will present accurate results on the mixing time for the natural Glauber dynamics on this model in the case where the equilibrium interface has a nontrivial shape.
