Moreover, scaling limits of statistical mechanics models on random lattices (planar maps) are believed to be described by LCFT as well as partition functions of certain 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theories. I will give an introduction to a rigorous probabilistic construction of LCFT (joint work with F.David, R. Rhodes and V.Vargas) and sketch a proof (jointly with R. Rhodes and V.Vargas) of the remarkable explicit expression of the three point functions of LCFT conjectured by Dorn, Otto, Zamolodchicov and Zamolodchikov.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=137389">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=137389</a><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>2</span> <span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Registration and Dinner<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=133850">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=133850</a><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>3 Program dinner<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=133853">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=133853</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>____________________________<br><br>IAS Math Seminars Home Page:<br><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
