Titel: Eigenvalues of GUE matrices and tilings of a hexagon

Sammanfattning: There has been a lot of interest in tiling models, particularly the limiting properties of such models as the size of the tiled area tends to infinity. It turns out that in a suitable scaling limit of tilings of a hexagon with rhombuses, it is possible to recover the distribution of the eigenvalues of a GUE (Gaussian Unitary Ensemble) matrix. I shall sketch a proof of this fact, thereby illustrating some of the techniques in this field.
