Nucleation is a mechanism by which one equilibrium displaces another through formation of small unstoppable nuclei. Typically, nucleation is local: the size of the nuclei is much smaller than the time-scale of convergence to the new state. We will discuss a few simple models where nuclei are not small in diameter but instead are a result of lower-dimensional structures that grow and interact significantly before most of the space is affected. Analysis of such models includes a variety of combinatorial and probabilistic methods. The talk will be aimed at the general audience.
