Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences - PIMS

Recent decades have seen an explosion of research in which probability theory is employed to tackle various important problems arising in statistical mechanics and mathematical physics. This has given rise to the development of diverse research areas which include spin systems, spin glasses, random polymers, heat kernel estimates and conformally invariant random fields to name a few. Each of these areas relies primarily on novel techniques developed in probability theory and harmoniously integrated with other areas of mathematics including algebra, complex analysis, geometry, combinatorics, ergodic theory and computer science. This workshop brings together top researchers in this field, from around the Pacific, with the overall goal of presenting a panoramic view of the most active research directions in current times
