CONFERENCE

Random Matrices and Determinantal Process
​February 27 - March 3, 2017

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
​(grant agreement N°647113)

The past decade has seen rapid developments in various areas of mathematics related to the random matrix theory.
- First, studies of the properties of Wigner and other ensembles of random matrices using methods of the probability theory.
- Second, studies of the properties of orthogonal polynomials, Toeplitz determinants, and Fredholm determinants with universal kernels, by methods of asymptotic analysis with implications for the invariant ensembles of random matrices.
- Third, studies of random particle systems appearing in the group representation theory.
- Fourth, studies of random walks.
- Fifth, applications of random matrices in statistical physics and number theory.

These subjects will form the scope of the week devoted to random matrices. They employ a variety of different methods but deal with not dissimilar objects, therefore we believe that a useful exchange of ideas and creation of new exciting mathematics in the intersection between these subjects is assured.

"We the organizers of this conference affirm that scientific events must be open to everyone, regardless of race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, pregnancy, immigration status, or any other aspect of identity. We believe that such events must be supportive, inclusive, and safe environments for all participants. We believe that all participants are to be treated with dignity and respect. Discrimination and harassment cannot be tolerated. We are committed to ensuring that the conference "Random Matrices and Determinantal Process" follows these principles.
