Robin Pemantle studies probability theory and random combinatorial structures. With Robert Burton, he developed methods for computing local probabilities in uniform spanning trees using electrical transfer impedances.[ref]
The probability that several specified edges occur is a determinant of a small transfer matrix. This avoids enumerating all trees and relates joint edge events to Green's functions and network currents. Their work also applies these methods to domino tilings and entropy.[ref]
