The mixing time of the lozenge tiling Glauber dynamics
The mixing time of the lozenge tiling Glauber dynamics
The broad motivation of this work is a rigorous understanding of reversible, local Markov dynamics of interfaces, and in particular their speed of convergence to equilibrium, measured via the mixing time $T_{mix}$. In the $(d+1)$-dimensional setting, $d\ge2$, this is to a large extent mathematically unexplored territory, especially for discrete interfaces. …
