Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Title
Discrete N-particle ensembles at high temperature through Jack polynomials

Abstract
I will speak about random discrete N-particle systems with the inverse temperature parameter theta. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Law of Large Numbers as the size N of the system tends to infinity simultaneously with the inverse temperature going to zero. We obtain the LLN for multiparameter families of Markov chains of N nonintersecting particles and the LLN for the multiplication of Jack symmetric functions, as the inverse temperature tends to zero. We express the answer in terms of novel one-parameter deformations of cumulants and discuss their relation to (quantized) free probability. Finally, we discuss a crystallization phenomenon and describe it in terms of the countable real roots of certain special functions. The talk is based on joint work with Maciej Dolega.
