Abstract
I will discuss three successive limits of the classical RSK (Robinson-Schensted-Knuth) correspondence that are relevant to the study of random metrics and random growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. The last of these is a continuum version of the RSK correspondence in the scaling limit, which gives a way of building the directed landscape from a sequence of independent Brownian motions. Based on joint work with Balint Virág.
