Historically, mean field spin glass models come from the study of statistical physics and have served as prototypical examples of complex energy landscapes. To tackle these questions statistical physicists developed a new class of tools, such as the...

In order to study interesting arithmetic, algebraic, analytic and geometric properties of binary forms, we often need a way to order them. I will discuss some natural ways to order binary forms F(x , y) with integer coefficients, especially those of...

This fourth and final lecture will focus on Widom-Rowlinson dynamics on the continuum. This is a continuation of the first lecture given on Monday. See here for more details

This one-day online conference will bring together geometers and representation theorists working on various aspects of quiver varieties and symplectic resolutions. 13h00 UTC Zoom room opens 13h15-14h00 UTC Hiraku Nakajima (Kavli IPMU) 14h15-15h00...

This third lecture will focus on Glauber dynamics on random graphs. This is a continuation of the first lecture given on Monday. See here for more details

Cells make fate decisions in response to dynamic environmental and pathological stimuli as well as cell-to-cell communications. Recent technological breakthroughs have enabled to gather data in previously unthinkable quantities at single cell level...

This second lecture will focus on Kawasaki dynamics on lattices. This is a continuation of the first lecture given on Monday. See here for more details

The mathematical modelling of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the spread of the disease COVID-19 is focussing on two major objectives. The first one is to understand and manage the epidemiology of the disease. To understand the transition of the epidemic...

Metastability is a wide-spread phenomenon in the dynamics of non-linear systems subject to noise. In the narrower perspective of statistical physics, metastable behaviour can be seen as the dynamical manifestation of a first-order phase transition. A...
