Exactly solvable, or integrable, lattice models have had an enormous impact, both in mathematics and physics. Some well known examples are the theory of quantum groups, knot invariants, self-avoiding random walks and models of strongly correlated electrons. In this seminar I will focus on the ice model, from it's humble origins to it's key role in the recent proof of the alternating sign matrix conjecture.
All interested are invited to attend.
