Abstract:

Abstract: We discuss the notion of "limit shape", compute a few examples including random partitions, random lozenge tilings, and the 5-vertex model. In 2+1 dimensions we describe a nice formula for limit shapes from gradient measures (of which the above are examples), which shows a certain linearity in the underlying limit shape theory.
