Welcome to the 2016 Summer School in Probability
Deadline to apply for funding has passed. Registration without financial support is still available here.
Members of the Northwestern community do not need to register but if they want they could send an email to Antonio Auffinger to be added to the list of participants and to receive further updates and announcements about the conference.
Main Lecturers
The main courses will be given by:Fabrice Baudoin (Purdue) - "Sub-Riemannian diffusions on foliated manifolds".
Nathanael Berestycki (Cambridge) - "Gaussian free field and Liouville quantum gravity."
Michael Damron (GA Tech) - "Geodesics in first-passage percolation."
Amir Dembo (Stanford) - "Statistical physics on sparse random graphs: a mathematical perspective."
Yimin Xiao (Michigan State) - "Gaussian random fields: geometric properties and extremes."
Ofer Zeitouni (Weizmann-NYU) - "Extremes of log-correlated fields"
There will be also talks by young career probabilists.
Organizers
The scientific organizers are Antonio Auffinger and Elton Hsu.
