Title: Interacting particle systems

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in one-dimensional 
particle systems such as the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) 
and other similar stochastic particle systems. 
Since the transition probability of ASEP was found in 2008, dozens of 
similar solutions have been presented for one-dimensional models 
presentable as 1D interacting particle systems. These models have 
turned out to have connections to other fields e.g. random matrix 
theory and Macdonald symmetric functions. 
The talk will begin with the basics of one-dimensional interacting 
particle models and proceed to the (coordinate) Bethe ansatz, 
connections random matrix theory and symmetric functions, 
KPZ universality and connections to physical spin models.
