On Friday there was a nice UQ Maths and Physics Colloquium, Beyond the Gaussian Universality Class, given by Ivan Corwin,
The talk was a very nice example of synergy between fundamental physics and maths research.
There are interesting connections with simple one-dimensional models for surface growth, the Kardan-Parisi-Zhang equation, the KPZ universality class, traffic models, random matrix theory, directed polymers in random media, ....

Superconductivity: a poster child for emergence
Superconductivity beautifully illustrates the characteristics of emergent properties. Novelty. Distinct properties of the superconducting s...

I welcome discussion on this point. I don't think it is as sensitive or as important a topic as the author order on papers. With rega...
