Abstract

Quantum dots involve a confluence of three problems: finite size, strong interactions and randomness. Yet they are amenable to exact solution in certain cases thanks to ideas from Random Matrix Theory and the Renormalization Group, both of which will be introduced from scratch for the audience in this blackboard talk.
