SUMMARY:Stochastic dynamics of discrete interfaces and dimer models - Beno

DESCRIPTION:We will study some effective models\, called dimer models\, fo
 r the interface between two coexisting thermodynamical phases in three dim
 ension. We will show in a relatively general setup that the time needed fo
 r the system to reach equilibrium is of order L^(2+o(1))\, where L is the 
 typical length scale of the system. The exponent 2 is optimal.\nMore preci
 sely\, for surfaces attached to a curve drawn in some plane\, we will cont
 rol the mixing time for several models\, including lozenge tilings and dom
 ino tilings. For surfaces attached to a general curve\, we will only work 
 with lozenges and use a weaker notion of "macroscopic" convergence.
